From Kelly:
I’m Kelly (Carol Kelly) living in Merrickville Ontario. My favourite medium is acrylics because only they have the intensity of colour that suits the visions that keep popping up in my head. I’ve explored a lot of different subjects; landscapes, nudes, portraits, etc., but, I have found that folks seem to like looking at the way I see the world’s architecture. As a kid I liked to sit in the corner and copy portraits from the covers of Time Magazine. I got a ‘D’ in high school art class because I only ever did portraits. I tried watercolour but, could never find the colour I wanted. Anyway, when I was in my twenty’s I met a fellow, in a bar, that showed me what acrylics could so, I became a fan. I’m currently exploring the world of bubble trees. As with my other paintings, I don’t know where the bubble trees came from – they kind of just exploded into my head and then I can’t sleep until I start putting them down on canvas.
