Infected by Art Book - Volume 13

Artist Statement: Kelley's artwork is inspired by the mysterious. She grew up in a house by the woods, spending much of her time going on adventures into the wilderness. Her images portray dreams, fears and fables, while seeking to transcend a world of chaos. Her visual language combines nature, spirituality and archetypal figures to form her own narratives both beautiful and symoblic.

Bio:Kelley earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001, and her MFA in 2010 from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Her first major show was in 2014 with Last Rites Gallery, NYC. She also participates in group shows with Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, OK, the online gallery Every Day Original, and at various museums and group shows around the country, including  the Mazza Museum and  the A.R. Mitchell Museum.

 When not working in her studio, she stays busy traveling with her own art booth to a wide range of art fairs and themed conventions throughout the year. Favorites include: the IX Art Show, Dragon Con, The Oddities Flea Market NYC, Columbus Art Festival, Cain Park Arts Festival, and the St James Court Art Show, among many others.
