From transforming her backyard into a creative sanctuary to launching Floraco, Kerry Gale reveals how imperfection, self-discovery and a love for the ordinary fuel her artistry, entrepreneurship and motherhood.
Life has always been about finding beauty in the ordinary for her. Whether it was turning her front yard into a wildflower meadow or creating “Kerry Gale original graffiti” on her parents’ windowsill, those childhood moments ignited a lifelong creative spark. Today, that spark fuels her journey as an artist, entrepreneur, and mother to three kids—Piper, Levi, and Colt.
After a divorce and during the COVID-19 lockdown, she needed a creative space of her own. She transformed her garage and backyard into a combined showroom for Floraco, her botanical-based luxury brand, and an art studio where she could stay close to her kids. This light-filled space, where nature blends with creativity, has become a sanctuary—a place where she embraces both the beauty of her work and the imperfections of life.
Her art reflects the belief that creativity is about the process, not just the product. It’s about pushing boundaries, reusing old objects, and finding inspiration in the unexpected. Despite struggling with imposter syndrome, she eventually embraced my creativity after being diagnosed with ADHD, which helped her see her creative instincts in a new light.
Routine helps her stay grounded—some days she’s on point, while others feel chaotic. Meditation, journaling and solo artist dates keep her connected to her creative energy, helping her push through blocks. Through Floraco, she inspire others to reconnect with nature and live more intentionally by offering sustainable, wellness-focused products that encourage mindfulness.
In everything she does, she tries to see life through the lens of creativity, celebrating the beauty in both the messy and the meaningful moments. Her advice to other artists: Start small, embrace the mess, and let your creativity flow. Life itself is an art form—one that’s worth living fully, in all its beautiful imperfections.
