This isn’t your traditional art studio & aren’t your traditional
art classes.
My story.
This is the continuation of an exciting journey, an adventurous trek filled with God’s grace at every turn. I’m Kelly and my artistic expression took a backseat to a beautiful long season of mothering, writing, and encouraging women of all ages, to which I am beyond thankful. Now, here we are. I believe we are ready to take a faith leap into creativity together. Taking one step at a time, we fix our eyes not on what we can do perfectly but what He can do in and through us! We will face our hesitant creativity fears with courage, our doubts with perseverance, and hold onto hope in this new creative adventure together. I believe it’s worth exploring!
Art, Author, & Artisans
I create art with you and your nest in mind. My personal artwork reflects the created world around us, with all its vibrant colors, whimsey, and magnificence. Painting florals from my gardens are my favorite but you’ll surely find a sprinkling of memorable landscapes, as well as foodie things that bring a smile and cafe’ inspired bits. I’ve been known to dip my paintbrush in my coffee cup while painting, so it seems fitting. ;)
As a writer, I’m inspired by morning sunrises, evening sunsets, falling leaves, and sparkling snow. God knows just what refreshes and restores me. I alternate between drinking lattes and teas while both writing and painting, one to energize me, and one to calm my nerves as I take faith steps into the unknown. Speaking of things that inspire, my first inspirational creative novel, Till That Day Comes is based on a true story. I hope we’ll all truly live as if today was our last, with eternity in mind!
Finally, one day soon, I’ll leap for joy to introduce you to brave artisans offering beautiful pieces for sale in our River Art Studio Store. Yes, I will even have a limited amount of signed art prints available to you. Selected for their quality as makers with celebratory souls in their making, these artisans value every loyal customer!
“Art is a reflection of God’s creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.”
