Michelle Kelly
Painting
Abstract nature artist Michelle Kelly is inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. She delves into the natural world with light layers of paint over time, preserving the integrity of her canvas while letting it guide her as she paints. Her goal is to have the work speak to your human heart, leaving the meaning to the viewer.
“I see patterns engrained within each of us, connecting and disconnecting us much as the elements do. I find myself reusing wood, gifts from the earth, and trying to heal her much like I would a person. Passing like clouds, these paintings explore realms of emotion, non verbal communication, unearthing deeper, mysterious realities. In a time filled with visual stimuli, intuition and connection to nature is our key back to personal freedom.”
