Kelly graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of South Carolina in 2003. As a lifelong resident of the Palmetto State, she highlights the beauty of the southern landscape, its hospitality and deep sense of home in her still life and interior works. Much of her early career centered on teaching art to children. Since 2020, she has emerged as a highly sought-after, contemporary impressionist, creating paintings “which speak of glory.” Her paintings are included in private collections throughout the United States and Canada.
