About

Kelly grew up in Southern California, surrounded by the beauty of oceans and mountains, She was drawn to art from a very young age.

As a classically trained oil painter, Kelly finds immense passion in depicting faces and the human figure. Her work often focuses on capturing the inherent strength and sensuality of women, revealing the power they sometimes don't even realize they possess. She takes her time with each piece, pushing and pulling the figure through atmospheric and etherial layers that tells a story of more than what she sees, but what she feels within her subjects.

Kelly was privileged to study under incredible master artists, including Romel de la Torre, Stanka Kordic, and Michelle Dunaway, which has profoundly shaped her artistic approach.

Beyond her personal practice, Kelly also leads painting retreats in beautiful locations such as Italy, France, Ireland, Portugal, and the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

Kelly resides in Bergerac, France, her husband, Rob, and their beloved Maine Coon, Indy.
