About the Artist
Hello! I'm Kelly.

I've been creating for as long as I can remember. In college, I studied fine arts, photography, and graphic design. However I didn't try watercolor art until just three years ago! As an art teacher I wanted to teach all the things and so as I learned watercolor I fell in love with this medium. It has been a healing place to create fine art again after much digital art and I believe using our hands to create has to come back to popularity for adults and children in this digital age. Teaching has helped me see the benefits of fine art again. Check out my workshops. I would love to paint with you!
This experience sparked a new passion: helping others embrace their unique creative style without fear. I focus on nurturing love for the process over the pressure of perfection, all while emphasizing that practice makes progress. Though some may feel naturally inclined, I believe anyone can grow in art with dedication, just like any other skill. Today, I’m thrilled to share this journey with my students, watching them discover their own creative voices. I am offering local watercolor workshops to continue fostering art education on a personal level!
I find inspiration from the bible and nature. I enjoy using antique frames and blending vintage vibes with modern touches.
While my pieces may evoke the feeling of a specific place, most of my artwork is purely a creation of my imagination. Each item is handmade with special attention to quality and finishing details, making them treasures worth collecting for years to come.
I’m a faith-filled wife and Mom of three, living in the charming city of Clarkston, Michigan. I’m an art teacher at a lovely private school for junior high and high school students. I’m passionate about my faith, my family, and all things creative—and you’ll rarely find me without my trusty kitchen coffee mug in hand. After all, coffee and creativity make the perfect pair, don’t they?
