Kimberly Santini has always heard the call of art. Formally educated, with a BFA in Painting and a BA in Art History, she set up a home studio over twenty years ago and committed herself to painting full time.In 2006 Kimberly extended that commitment to daily painting, a practice she continues today. Color, whimsy and expressive brushwork bring together her delightful animal friends in unexpected scenes, that she both dreams of and encounters near her home in Michigan (which of course is filled to the brim with rescued family pets). She was the official artist of the Kentucky Derby in 2015 and been shown across the United States.
