  • Hello and welcome!

  • 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. 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 page, 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!

    Here is "Women of Courage 2022!" I usually title them by a number but I felt this one needed a date. I started this painting in February, 2022, after Russia attached Ukraine. It was heartbreaking to watch and I felt I needed to do a new Women of Courage painting in honor of the brave people in Ukraine. All of the details and inspiration behind the painting can be found on my Etsy site at -https://www.etsy.com/listing/1374106243/women-of-courage-2022-20x20-original

     

     

    "Kids of Courage" prints now for sale!

    This is another favorite 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!
