About Me
I am Kim, Mum to 2 beautiful girls, Wife, Pharmacist, craft enthusiast and sole creator and owner of Pretty Creative by Kim in Townsville.
In 2019 we lost our house and car in the Townsville floods, when I was 6 months pregnant. The following year, Covid changed everyone's lives. I began rock painting and hiding as a way of doing something fun with my 4 year old and a form of self care during lockdown and struggling with the events the previous year. My daughter has an autoimmune condition and both have asthma, so we spent a lot of time at home.
As life was returning to normal, my Dad was away from home, at work, and became unwell. He had a long hospital stay and my parents were struggling financially. I started this shop to raise money for them. The fund-raiser was hugely successful and some of the profit was also donated to Royal Flying Doctors. As the fundraiser came to an end, a part of me didnt want to say goodbye to my shop, and orders continued. So I began Rocking Art by Kim, which continued with more diversity in range, including gifts and craft items.
I attend local monthly markets, and in 2021 began with a small store on Spend With Us, a division of Buy From a Bush Business Facebook page. As momentum and reach grew, my items became more popular. This has allowed me to identify not only what is popular, but what I love to create, and focus on these ranges.
And thus, Rocking Art by Kim became Pretty Creative by Kim.
I would really appreciate your support. Everything I sell is handcrafted by me. I am a small home based business, that allows me to spend more time at home with my girls. Providing gorgeous, quality handmade products, and exceptional customer service are my priorities. I want to you to enjoy the entire experience from browsing, purchase, receiving your goods and using them.
Thank you -Kim x
