"I’m fortunate to have two of Kelly’s pieces in my home. The first was originally sourced for our former restaurant, Bluestem, where it proudly hung in our bar area for many years. Selected from a local gallery, it was my first introduction to Kelly’s work. When the restaurant closed, we brought the piece home, and it now hangs proudly in our entryway.

Inspired by Kelly’s vision, bright colors, and vibrant style, I knew I wanted to commission something special for our kitchen when we remodeled. The piece she created is a true focal point — we absolutely love it! We receive so many compliments from guests seeing it for the first time, and it’s such a cheerful piece to wake up to each morning.

I truly love Kelly’s unique point of view and am grateful to have her work as part of our home."

Kelly’s work brings energy and life to spaces and people alike. Her skill and devotion to craft make for breathtaking visual works that seem to find a common pulse with the places and people who surround them.  Her work lives on more than just a wall. Pieces encourage balance, curiosity, conversation and have an evolving relationship with the world around them – fusing passion and precision to tell their own story and inspire thought, discussion and human connection.

I can’t express enough how much this piece of artwork means to me. It beautifully brings together the organic elements that both my husband and I love—especially the vibrant, detailed flowers that feel so full of life and movement. It’s as if Kelly captured the natural world in a way that speaks to both of our hearts, weaving our shared appreciation for beauty and nature into one stunning piece.  Every petal, every color, every detail feels intentional and full of heart. Each time I walk into the room, it brings me a deep sense of joy.  I’m so grateful to have a piece that reflects who we are and what we cherish.
