My Bio

Kellyanne is a contemporary mixed-media artist whose work blends abstraction with touches of impressionism to create expressive, emotionally driven paintings. Working in watercolor, acrylic, collage, and oil, she explores color, texture, and movement to capture moments that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and discover their own meaning. 

Her early experience hand-painting thiimbles for a comapny in Maine and Christmas ornaments sold on Bearskin Neck in Rockport, Massachusetts reflects a longstanding commitment to detail. Originally from the coast north of Boston, today she creates art reflecting the landscapes of her new location in the American West. 

Kellyanne is a two-time fianlist with Grey Cube Gallery and was honored to participate in The SAA Sunflower Project, a worldwide tribute recognizing lives impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. She also writes about art and the creative process as a contributor on Medium, sharing encouragement, insights, and humorous reflections with fellow artists and art enthusiasts. 

Inspired by travel, nature, and everyday moments, Kellyanne believes that art has the power to spark emotion, invite conversation, and remind us to slow down and see beauty in the world around us.

My Artist Statement

I am a multi-media artist inspired by the beauty found in nature, personal experiences, and the emotions that connect us all. Working with watercolor, acrylic, and mixed-media collage, I explore the interplay of color, light, texture, to create movement. 

Landscapes and seascapes have long influenced my work, providing endless inspiration through their changing skies, reflections, and natural rhythems. In my abstract work, I move beyond the visible world to explore thoughts, emotions, and ideas through form, color, and composition. 

My creative process is deeply rooted in observation and personal experience. Each piece reflects moments of joy, reflection, resilience, and the complexities of everyday life. Through my art, I hope to create a connection with viewers by inviting them to pause, feel, and discover their own meaning within the work.
