Meet the artist

Kim Norlien

Kim was raised in Minneapolis, MN, and spent his childhood summers up at the lake with his grandparents in rural Minnesota. After graduating from Minneapolis Community College and spending eight years as a commercial artist for Honeywell, Kim realized it was time to go freelance with his own unique style. As a Christian artist, Kim believes all of creation is a reflection of Gods glory, so he painstakingly researches every detail in his work to make sure it is captured as precisely as it would be found in nature.

Artwork preference

Based on the artist AI disclosure on each kit.

AI-assisted art,
explained.

You’ve chosen to hide AI-assisted artwork, and we respect your choice. Here’s a little context about AI in the creative process, the hand rendering behind your kit, and how we price it.

What “AI-assisted” means.

Some of our artists use artificial intelligence as part of their creative process. We require them to hand-edit their work to meet our quality standards and disclose AI use to us. We share that disclosure on the kit’s product page and in the artist’s bio. We don’t accept AI-only artwork.

Rendered by hand, diamond by diamond.

Our team spends 8–12 hours hand-rendering each standard canvas design, refining colors and diamond placement. No AI is used in this step.

Why AI use doesn’t change our pricing.

We pay royalties to our artists, including those who use AI. A kit’s price also covers hand rendering, premium materials, production, our team, logistics and tariffs. Those costs still need to be covered whether or not the artist uses AI.

Our artist standardsCreative skill, disclosure & artist support

We don’t accept AI-only artwork.

Artists who use generative AI must hand-edit their work to meet our quality standards and disclose that use to us. We share that disclosure on the kit’s product page and in the artist’s bio.

Artists come first.

We don’t partner with AI-only artists. We review artists’ credentials and portfolios of previous non-AI work to assess their skill and experience.

Creativity brings together technique, imagination, judgment and fresh ideas. We’re open to established artists using AI responsibly as one part of their process, within these standards. Clear disclosure lets you decide which work you want to support.

Artists are at the heart of Diamond Art Club. We value their creativity and aim to pay the most generous royalties we can sustainably offer.

Honest disclosure matters.

Artists found to have used AI without disclosing it to us will face penalties. In serious cases, we may terminate our working relationship with the artist. Honest disclosure matters to us—and to your ability to make an informed choice.
