Kelly grew up in the woods of the lake’s region, New Hampshire. She draws her inspiration from nature as well as life's good and bad fortune. Creating art is her way of capturing rare and special moments. From the forests of New England to the tide pools of the seacoast she sees art in everything with bittersweet perspective. Using her imagination to design and draw in felt pen, she then gives the piece life with watercolor and guache paint. An array of bright color matched with dark ink and acrylic, her work is bold and expressive. A visual narrative of time spent.

Kelly is working on representing the human relationship with nature through figures that have a sense of old-world humanity transforming into a modern take on the enigma that is life. With a newfound childlike sense of wonder and exploration she creates her pieces in hopes to share her innermost thoughts, memories and dreams.
