Kerry Barnes - Teacher

Kerry Barnes is a college graduate with a degree in photography and the proud owner of KB Social Artworking®, a mobile paint and sip business she launched on March 6, 2016. For the past nine years, she has been inspiring creativity and community connection throughout Palm Beach County and beyond.

Kerry’s journey into entrepreneurship began after years of working traditional 9-to-5 jobs. Having once owned a bar in New Hampshire where she hosted monthly paint nights, she fell in love with the way art could bring people together. When she moved back to Florida, she noticed a gap in the market—no one was offering paint and sip experiences within a 30-mile radius. With her passion for art and her belief that creativity should be accessible to everyone, she launched KB Social Artworking with the tagline “Art for Everyone.”

What started with small home parties, restaurants, and fundraising events has grown into a thriving business that offers canvas painting, wood signs, ceramics, glassware, resin projects, chunky blankets, wood flowers, faux stained glass, sea glass projects, and even build-a-stuffy experiences. Whether it’s an intimate gathering, a fundraiser for a local cause, or a large community event, Kerry’s mission has always been about more than just painting—it’s about creating lasting memories, giving back, and spreading joy through creativity.

Over the years, she has donated countless hours and more than half of her earnings to charities, rescues, sports teams, schools, and community organizations. Her adaptability and drive also shone through during Covid-19, when she pivoted her business to offer online classes and at-home kits with free delivery.

Today, KB Social Artworking continues to thrive as a mobile art studio that brings the party directly to you—whether in homes, restaurants, breweries, schools, or community centers. Kerry’s vision is simple but powerful: to make art accessible, fun, and meaningful for everyone.
