Kelly's Art

WHAT ART MEANS TO ME....

Art is such an incredible means of expression. My painting, as in my music career has involved decades of study, experimentation and a substantial emotional investment. I find joy in the creation of each piece of artwork that has found its way into the hearts, homes, cottages, offices and now home offices of clients. The hope is to make people smile when they look at their painting. My signature whimsical textured style is simply my interpretation of nature and of life. Over the years I have to say I am so grateful that my artwork has been featured on television programs, in magazines, newspapers and in designer window displays. I have shown my artwork in Canadian and US Galleries as well as in Europe.

The Creative Process

Drawing & Texture

Known for her large, whimsical, textured original paintings...the journey of an original piece of art begins with drawing the image on a canvas, then applying her molding paste to begin to creating a sculpture like dimension and incredible texture. The molding paste has an icing like texture when it is applied and once dried feels more like hard clay.

Adding Colour

The acrylics paints are mixed and applied with numerous brush techniques and the result is an uplifting, textured original piece. Many clients ask for a custom painting in tones from their existing space or they fall in love with an original piece at the Studio and decorate around it. Kelly also is inspired to create using the latest designer tones so her clients and designers are able to accessories to decorate around the painting.

What I Love to Paint....Flowers

Floral & Garden Scenes

Flowers...Growing up in the floral industry Kelly was inspired by the incredible colour and texture of petals and leaves. She now enjoy bringing the flowers to life with texture on canvas.

Thornbury Scenes

Thornbury Village

Kelly moved to Thornbury a few years back and was quickly inspired by the quirky Main Street and waterfront. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy their favourite stops, shops & cafes as they come to life in her paintings!

Village Scenes

Blue Mountain Village

There is a whimsical magic about "The Village" at Blue Mountain. Kelly was immediately inspired to try and bring some of that that magic onto canvas. Today, they have evolved into memory boards for families. She loves to paint my own renditions of the village and also enjoy creating commissions for families of their favorite places...their memories of special times spent at Village. Kelly also enjoy working with Blue Mountain Village doing Live Art Demo's through the Summer and Fall.

Apres Ski

Apres Ski Scenes

Après Ski time at a Private Ski Club or at Blue Mountain is truly a seasonal favorite for most skiers during the winter. It is also the inspiration for Kelly's "Apres Ski" themed paintings. Kelly also enjoys doing commissions for clients!

The Ladies

Ladies Night Out Scenes

Being a professional entertainer Kelly has spent a lot of time watching people while performing around the world. She enjoys painting ladies at the bar scenes. The fun is in the texture of their hair and also adding a touch of jewelry!

Contemporary Artwork

I just LOVE creating my new line of contemporary artwork. I work with the Benjamin Moore pallet of colour's for each unique painting. It is such a fascinating technique. I don't sign the front of the canvas once complete as clients see something different in each painting whether it is hung horizontal or vertically in their space!
