Kelly's Visual Art Portfolio

Artist Statement
I am a multi-talented, hands-on creative: a hair stylist, visual artist, barista, designer, and more. My work is inspired by the process of request followed by actions that result in an observable, aesthetically pleasing change.

A solo black female frequently appears to mirror my subconscious reality as an only child and adoptee. I celebrate realistic feminine bodies that are often overlooked and explore concepts of beauty & self-improvement through solitude. I wish for viewers to feel joy and get lost within the peaceful elements and vibrant colors of my collection. I want women to identify with the bodies and vulnerable stories told in my work, then feel empowered to live and create authentically.
