I’m Kelly and I’d love to share a bit about my artistic journey with you.

Growing up in Southern California, surrounded by the beauty of oceans and mountains, I was drawn to art from a very young age. My early career involved various creative endeavors and higher education, but it wasn't until I turned forty that I truly dedicated myself to painting.

As a classically trained oil painter, I find immense passion in depicting faces and the human figure. My work often focuses on capturing the inherent strength and sensuality of women, revealing the power they sometimes don't even realize they possess. I've had the privilege of studying under incredible master artists, including Romel de la Torre, Stanka Kordic, and Michelle Dunaway, which has profoundly shaped my artistic approach.

Beyond my personal practice, I also lead painting retreats in beautiful locations such as Italy, France, Ireland, Portugal, and the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

Currently, I reside in Europe with my husband, Rob, and our beloved Maine Coon, Indy.
