The Studio

Reese & Bloom Artistry Co.

Reese & Bloom is a collaboration between my mom and me, blending her stained glass and fusing artistry with my clay, cement, painting and photography. Our name reflects both family and inspiration. Reese is for her family name, and Bloom because we are moved by the beauty of life, growth, and creativity.

We believe art is a vessel. It can carry emotion, time, and meaning, things that words often fail to hold.

Kim Reese · Stained and Fused Glass

Kim sees the world through light, color, and glass. Her stained glass work is inspired by global travels, blooming gardens, and the flowing elegance of Art Nouveau, especially the dreamy lines of her favorite artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. When she is not in the studio, Kim is exploring the world, cherishing time with her grandchildren, or drawing inspiration from the people and cultures she encounters along the way.

Erin Smith · Clay, Cement, Painting and Photography

At the heart of my work is a love of florals. If I were not an artist, I could happily spend my days as a florist, growing flowers, cutting them from my garden, and arranging them. My connection to florals and greenery first bloomed (pun intended) during my years as a wedding photographer, when I was captivated by the way flowers, arrangements, and light could transform a moment, just like the vessels that hold them.

After years of working full-time as a nurse practitioner while raising children, roles I treasure but that left little time for my own passions, I have been given the unexpected gift of space. Since moving to Louisiana, I have had time to reconnect with myself, to nurture my creativity, and to breathe again.

I am excited about the future of Reese & Bloom. My new studio is on its way to becoming a creative sanctuary, where I can return to pottery, craft vases, and build arrangements that inspire new paintings. This journey feels like both a return and a beginning.

My large floral oil paintings are at Erin Smith Fine Art.
