Animals, Art and Magic
I grew up in Colorado and have always enjoyed painting and drawing.
I studied art and horticulture at Colorado State University, and have degrees in both subjects. Once I graduated, I packed my things and moved to the west coast where I have spent many years working beside other artists.
I exhibit original paintings, create commissions, and write and illustrate books. My first self published children's picture book titled Moon Bunny was released in March 2015. When I am not painting, writing and bookmaking, I love to write and record my own music, and you'll find many characters playing instruments in my paintings. I love to hike mountain trails and swim in rivers, traveling when opportunity arises.
Via my website;
"Kelly makes her home among the rain forests of the great Northwest, and has traveled throughout Europe and lived simply in the woods, giving her art aesthetics of an otherworldly fairy tale. Her studies in symbolism and divination add mystical meaning to the stories in her pictures. She illustrates animals, her community and surroundings into her paintings with these themes as the backdrop."
