I am Losing my God Damn Mind Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT We all have a story; secrets, experiences and deep emotions that can be difficult to articulate or express. I am fascinated by the multiple layers of identity - how they interplay, conflict and create my unique understanding of the world. Painting allows me to engage and express, to process and give form to the complexities of my own textured mind. BIOGRAPHY As a painter, Kelly is best known for her encaustic paintings (hot beeswax, resin and pigment). Over time, her process has continued to evolve into a mixed media approach as she explores and experiments with style, scale, abstract and figurative, constantly challenging herself to find a physical form that expresses the psychological experience.
