Tell us a little about yourself
Kelly: ‘I am an artist living and working in Vancouver, Canada. I paint realistic landscape paintings in acrylic paint.’

When did you start painting?
Kelly: ‘When I was very young, I have always painted, but I didn’t get serious about it until about six years ago.’

What materials do you use?
Kelly: ‘I paint with acrylics, but tend to use more of a watercolour style with thin multiple layers.’

What kind of subjects do you paint?
Kelly: ‘I have three main subjects: West Coast landscapes, Okanagan landscapes and birds of British Columbia. I live on the west coast and everywhere I go I am inspired! I especially love beaches and I am drawn to water like most people seem to be. I paint the Okanagan too as I used to live there for about 4 years and one of my main commercial galleries is located there. And I paint birds because no matter where I go adventuring I always see a bird!’

Did you study art?
Kelly: ‘I have a diploma of Fine Art from UCFV and a diploma of photography from Western Academy of Photography.’

Hobby or Career?

Fun Fact?
