Kelly Behrens

Hello Gorgeous ,I’m Kelly Behrens a Abstract artist painter who is heavily influenced by My Home and the magic of far North Queensland Australia the ocean and the tropics are represented in my paintings and abstract patterns with a Kaleidoscope of colours. I was born in Queensland being a soul child growing up. Both parents influenced me to be myself to explore and paint and draw at a very young age.. my father owned a fishing and boating business so I was amongst the magic of the sea snorkelling fishing exploring alongside my Angel mother who also was a business woman who would take me travelling to see samples with her both showed me so much love and to be daring be yourself to love life endlessly with passion. This has carried through in my life to be able to paint to create a story of magical mystical worlds to get lost in the canvas and the moment in my happy place.. my world of colours, strokes and layers and washes. I feel very much myself when I’m holding a brush. It’s easy to get lost in the moment of creating and I love that.
