Hi, I’m Kelly

From a quick video clip captured at Hylands Park, London on Valentines Day to a finished oil painting—and now off to it’s forever home! 🦢🏡 There is nothing like capturing the elegance of swans in oil paint. “Swans of Hylands Park” is officially SOLD and safely tucked away in its new frame with its Certificate of Authenticity. A huge thank you to the collector who connected with this piece. If you missed this one, drop a comment and let me know if I should paint more 👇🏻🎨🦢

Just a woman about to give a talk about art in a chateau 🏰✨ I had the incredible honor of giving my art talk inside a breathtaking French château, and the energy in the room was pure magic 🪄 Speaking about my creative journey while surrounded by centuries of history and architecture is an experience I will never forget. A huge thank you for everyone who joined, engaged in such beautiful conversations, and made the evening so unforgettable. Sharing my passion in a space like this feels like a true milestone. Merci beaucoup to my incredible hosts @manorandmaker, the Le Cordon Bleu Paris Chefs for the amazing fire roasted cheese and tart, and the sweet and uber talented instructors from @creativeadventuresevents for sharing a night of your retreat week with me. The night was so enjoyable that I have no other photos to share with you—I call that a success in itself! I will eventually host my own retreat with @manorandmaker but if you’re a beginner, please think about joining one of @creativeadventuresevents retreats they host twice a year here at the chateau—It’s a great way to see what medium lights you up!

Oh Figs! I painted this little treasure then ran off to the Pyrenees with my husband for an incredible experience walking the candlelight pilgrimage in Lourdes, hiking, and thermal baths up in the mountains of Cauterets. This was a lovely way to celebrate my new website that I built myself and the relaunch of my Etsy store! I have almost 23k in sales and I offer free worldwide shipping. All my artworks are original and are ready to ship from my studio in France. The U.S. will take 5-14 days to arrive and each painting is in the frame shown and ready to hang or place on a shelf. This pretty framed oil painting of figs will be available in my shop tomorrow. If you love any of my paintings, grab them before they are gone. They will make the best Christmas gifts for that person that deserves something unique and lovely, just like them ☺️ Tomorrow should I paint lemons 🍋?

How adorable does this bunny 🐰 look in my special frame from my favorite boutique here in Bergerac? Tap the link in my bio to purchase this original piece.
