When Kelly joined ART+Academy, she brought with her a genuine curiosity and basic drawing skills. Her before-drawing instruction portraits show where she started—and the progress she has made since then is truly remarkable, thanks to her dedication and willingness to learn.
What makes Kelly’s journey so special is her enthusiasm and love for learning. That energy led her to explore beyond pencil and paper. She has experimented with charcoal, acrylic, and watercolor, growing more confident with each new medium.
Kelly brings the same joyful spirit to every project, big or small. One of her most heartfelt pieces? A mural she painted for her grandson—a beautiful example of how art becomes a gift we share with others.
Her story reminds us that a love for art—and life—can grow from something as simple as taking that first step to learn.
