Meet Your Expert Guide
Hi there, I'm Kelly! After nearly 40 years, I left the fast-paced world of high end management consulting and wanted to focus on my passions and what makes me tick. For me, travel and painting have always been my passion. I love the journey of experiencing a new destination; I also love the journey of creating a piece of art. I started painting with acrylics in the 1970s! Over the years, I have taken myriad art classes in various media, but I always come back to acrylics. I have been fortunate to take classes with the nation's leading acrylic painters: Patti Mollica, Jed Dorsey, Dianna Shyne, Anne Blair Brown, Kevin MacPherson and others. I hope you join us on this journey to explore the world through art. We believe that everyone has an inner artist just waiting to be nurtured.
