Hello and thank you for visiting!
Who I am..
Welcome to Kelly's Art From the Soul!
I began painting with my grandmother at an early age and have been creating art ever since. I like to use a lot of rich, vibrant colors. Most people tell me my use of colors draw them to my work. I love painting women and trees. I paint women of all cultures as the warriors they are, whether in activism, motherhood, friendship, or being a source of strength for so many. And in painting trees, they remind me to stay grounded and to draw from my roots.
People, travel, color and music all inspire me; it may be a powerful lyric in a song, a person’s life story, or something as simple as a beautiful Oregon day. I want my paintings to make people happy, empowered and at peace. I hope you enjoy my work and that it makes your soul sing!”
I see art as a form of therapy for my soul, which is where the name “Kelly’s Art From the Soul” came from. I currently live, teach, and paint in Portland, Oregon. :)

Here is one of my newest paintings titled,
"Alone Together."
I started this painting the first week the Coronavirus stay at home orders started. I saw a video of people in Italy singing with their neighbors from their windows, and I felt I had to capture this unprecedented moment somehow. Even though we are living through a very scary time in our lives right now, people are showing so much kindness and compassion, it is breathtaking and heartwarming. We will get through this, and the Earth will heal in the meantime. Stay strong friends, this will be over soon!
The original has sold, and is now in it's forever home in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

This is another new painting in honor of all of our essential workers, who are risking their lives daily to keep us healthy. The original painting is now with a well deserving nurse in California. <3
