“Beauty is everywhere.  Light and color and nature rain down as good gifts.  My desire is to showcase this grace with celebratory brushstrokes, applauding all that is good and oh so lovely in our world.”

Kelly graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of South Carolina in 2003 and was a lifelong resident of the Palmetto State, until 2022, when she started a new adventure in Kalispell, Montana with her family! Kelly continues to highlight the beauty of the southern landscape, its hospitality and deep sense of home in her still life and interior works, as well as create pieces inspired by her new community. As a highly sought-after, contemporary impressionist, her painterly pieces “speak of glory,” and are included in private collections throughout the United States and Canada.
