My Story
Kimmie Palmer Mays: Inspired by “heart smiles”
Photography has been my first love ever since I was a teenager, capturing moments and turning them into lasting memories. A few years ago, I discovered the joy of crocheting, which became a wonderful, new, creative outlet. More recently, I started sketching adorable bunnies and birds, drawn at my children’s request. These took on a whimsical feel, as if jumping from the page of an untold storybook. Each of these hobbies allows me to explore my creativity in unique ways, and they bring a sense of balance and joy to my everyday life. Whether it is a silly bird, a festive holiday scene or a piece inspired by meaningful connections, I enjoy capturing the essence of what it means to celebrate life’s most cherished moments… the ones that make your heart smile!
