Hello! I'm Kelly - a painter and illustrator in Colorado.
I love to do custom projects with people. Each piece of art starts as a story, an idea. You tell me your story, or float a new idea and we collaborate.
You dream, I draw!
We work together until the final product is exactly what you dreamed.
Original Art makes an incredible gift for a new couple, a new baby, a new job, a new graduate or simply a new start in life.
Some of my favorite projects are "life maps" that is where you tell me your favorite stories (about you, you and a friend, you and a spouse…) and I draw tiny illustrations that make up your "life map"
I also love to do just about any animal on just about any surface. Your colors, your themes, my hand work.
I am open to all sorts of custom ideas and challenges. Check out my portfolio. If our styles connect let's create a project together!

For Illustrations/PrintsKelly did a great job on this project -- it was a real pleasure to work with her. She responded quickly, offered several clear and appealing options, and turned around the project in record time when I selected a path forward. I reached out to Kelly on a Saturday, paid on Sunday and had my order in hand by Wednesday. The prints are beautiful! And, as if that wasn't enough, she sent 8 free additional prints and even an original. A real pleasure working with Kelly. I look forward to ordering from her again.
