Projects: Kelley loves creating paintings and drawings, participating in gallery shows and art conventions,(IX being a favorite), working on commissions, freelance illustration and many other interesting design projects.

My interpretation of a deity from one of my favorite Greek myths. I've hidden lost souls in the mirrored reflections of the water, and designed the mountain silhouette to follow the pattern of a heartbeat. Acrylic washes with oils over top. Painted on birch wood with painted-in arch. (This image could be shown either with or without the outer frame.)
