About the Artist
Hello! I'm Kelly.
I've been creating as long as I can remember. In college, I studied fine arts, photography, and graphic design, loving every moment. Near the end of college, I started a family, which changed my career path. I wanted to stay home with my kids but still felt a strong pull to create. Driven by faith and passion, I launched a graphic design business from home with no formal training, all while homeschooling my children—quite a busy season!
As the design industry shifted to digital, I found fewer clients who valued the hands-on creativity I loved. During COVID, we enrolled our kids in a small private school, where I soon became the art teacher for junior high and high school. Teaching reconnected me with traditional art, and it felt deeply refreshing—so much more therapeutic than digital work.
This experience sparked a new passion: helping others embrace their unique creative style without fear. I focus on nurturing a 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!
My boys are both able to work besides me now (one is helpful with the website and photography; the other creates the wood stands available for purchase!) I am excited for this season of life to share my journey and make my art available for others to enjoy! My art originates from moments of reflection and my daily commitment to paint. Through watercolor practice, my studio has become a space of beauty and a place of peace.

I find inspiration from the bible and creation. I enjoy painting smaller scale pieces the most (my minis are most popular!) using antique frames and blending vintage vibes with modern touches.
While my pieces may evoke the feeling of a specific place, each one is purely a creation of my imagination.Each item is meticulously crafted 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. By day, 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?
