What began as a small family operation has grown into a respected leader in painting, power washing, and roof cleaning. We are recognized for our professionalism, craftsmanship, and genuine care for the homes and businesses we serve. When Kevin Palmer Painting was established in 1966, Kevin built the business on simple and timeless values: treat customers with respect, work hard, and deliver results you'd be proud to put your name on.

Although tools and technology have evolved, our dedication to professional service has never wavered. Kevin Palmer Painting offers a range of services to protect, refresh, and maintain homes and businesses. These services include expert interior and exterior painting, experienced power washing, and safe, effective roof cleaning. After more than 50 years in business, we've served families across multiple generations. Our long-standing presence means we understand local styles and the community's unique needs. We don't just work here. We live here too. A lot has changed since 1966, but our commitment to quality and professionalism remains the same. Whether you need just a fresh coat of paint, a deep exterior clean, or a gentle roof wash, Kevin Palmer Painting continues to deliver the service that has made us a trusted name for more than half a century. Professionalism never goes out of style, nor does the pride we take in helping homeowners and business owners improve, protect, and beautify their most important investment.

From Her Hands
Come share the dream of a Mother Daughter Art Exhibition
My daughter Emily has become my inspiration. At first, I hoped it may have been the other way around, with our connection with the beauty of paint and pencil. Just watching her drive and determination to make a living using all her creative gifts. I saw her struggling with many of the same anxieties that froze me in my place, but she seemed to break through and crushed those fears. 
After years of paying her bills as a Freelancer and one of the founding partners of Kismet Co. Collinsville, Emily now works for Comcast as a Senior Graphic Artist. 
I have been working as a Custom Framing Manager at Micheals for many years. I have seen so many beautiful, amazing, creative pieces of Art come through my shop. I would often wonder if anyone would love one of my pieces enough to get it framed. 
In our free time, our favorite thing to do is our Side hustle; painting and drawing. We get our inspiration from the people and places around us. 
Among many mediums Emily also creates small Gouche paintings on wood. She is edgy, graphic and bold. Dotty creates large illustrative Oil paintings of organic fantasy with bright colors on canvas.
This is our first Gallery show together, and Dotty's first show ever. So, this Gallery opening is a long-awaited dream. We are out of hiding and ready to show the Magic we create From Our Hands. 
We hope you enjoy our works as much as we do creating them.
Sincerely,
Dotty and Emily Barnes
PS:
40% of all Proceeds go to Kismet: to help keep The SPACE open for all of us to enjoy.
60% goes to the Artists: to help them keep Painting, and Creating Magic.
