Painting has not always been a part of my life, although now I wouldn't know what to do with out it.  My first taste of art was as a sophomore in high school; merely as a way of getting out of taking a foreign language.  My instructor saw the artist in me and took me under his wing. I was soon asked to join the advanced art students to work with charcoals and pastels and by the end of that school year I was given the opportunity to paint a mural inside of a classroom.

 (Looking back, I'm thankful that I was failing Spanish!) 

After a few years of painting only at school,  I started working on my art at home and realized the freedom and peace it gave me. I only painted a few times a year but with every painting my love and passion for this new part of me grew.

Fast forward 15 years and with the amazing support from my husband, I was able to nurture my love of painting flowers and putting into action my new ideas.

I officially started my business, Petals by Kimberly, in the Summer of 2017.  

I have recently starting a unique take on my love for painting flowers and have blended that with re-purposing and up-cycling old wine bottles. A new twist on Home Decor, my bottles are a perfect addition to any room and a great gift for any occasion.
