Having spent most of her life in the company of women, her pieces grow out of the kindred support she has felt from many of them throughout her life. She is unendingly grateful for the spirits of these women who walk with her, in flesh or in paint, on her incredible journey into art, love and life. Kelly currently lives in Portland, OR with her outdoorsy husband John, their new baby boy named True, and their airplane-eared dog Bella.
