We read a lot of books. Two of my favorites of all time are Go Dog Go! & Are you My Mother by PD Eastman. As a tribute to this style and color palate I am doing birds on pages I love to capture the limited but lovely color palate of the print process at that time as well as the simple lines with expressive features. This set is designed to harken the drawings of that era- and revisit the nostalgia many of us feel for these books. Perfect for a child's room or nursery, these paintings are also perfect for adult spaces with a light hearted feel. Inquire to buy several as a set at a discount or to commission your own custom paintings on your choice of pages with your choice of colors :)

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!
