    • Welcome to Kelly's Art From the Soul

      Original artwork by Kelly Simpson-Hagen

      Who I am..

      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 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. To purchase any of my artwork, please visit my Etsy shop or Fine Art America. Links are below.

       

      If you are looking for a custom piece of artwork, or to host a paint party, please email me at the address below. I hope you enjoy my paintings and that they make your soul sing. Thanks for visiting!

      Here is my newest painting!

      I have been on a little obsessed with painting women with these large, bountiful head pieces lately. Each one has its own personality! I am trying to get better painting faces, which is such a challenge for me. Each painting in this series has a different type of shading for the face. I'll see which one I land on! For now, enjoy my newest, "Rising Up", 24x36 acrylic on canvas. Not for sale..yet. :)

       

       

      "Kids of Courage" prints now for sale!

      This is another new painting in honor of all of our amazing kids. They are showing us what change and growth look like, and that it starts from the ground up with individuals and communities taking care of each other. They are speaking out against the social inequities we face in our nation. I could not be prouder of our future generations and this is in honor of them!
