Kelly was born into the art world to an extremely supportive family. Her grandma got Kelly her very first set of pencils and she has never really put them down. Kelly was inspired to create her first painting at the age of eight, a beautiful portrait of her grandfather.

Unlike her influences, Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso, she loves to use pencil for the perfect shadowy outcome. Her favorite artist of all time is Vincent Van Gogh because she loves his vibrant combination of colors. Besides Van Gogh, Kelly finds herself inspired by everything around her. She is a perfectionist. Her number one rule is attention to detail, which she constantly proves by making eyes come to life and by capturing the feelings felt in a particular moment.

When Kelly has a day off she feels most relaxed when she is behind the camera taking snapshots of her favorite spots in the city.
