As a result of her obvious dedication to daily plein air paintings, she and I are collaborating on teaching a painting workshop this October in the lovely and seductive VENICE! (...you may take a virtual tour of Venice HERE).
Kelly will teach the oil & acrylic painters, while I'll teach watercolors, gouache, pen & ink, and graphite. Details for the workshop may be found here: WORKSHOP.
This is a picture of Kelly, doing what she does every day! Do you see her mode of transportation?

"I first came to Italy to take a landscape painting workshop in 2004. Little did I know that only 6 months later I would move to Italy and call it my home. In 2005 I had a scholarship from the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga where I was to study art abroad for 1 year, so I took the opportunity and went into the drawing program at The Florence Academy of Art.
After that year, I decided to stay and experience Italy, and I lived in Florence for 6 years. In the fall of 2010 I had the opportunity to
move to Rome."

She continues..."Rome is a world of marvels and, to break it down into smaller
bites, I started my journey as a full-time painter in Rome with a project
exploring the neighborhoods and streets, one painting at a time.
In the fall of 2012, I held my first solo exhibition in Rome
with over 25 of those paintings done on the streets around the city. I continue to teach both sketchbook journaling and oil
painting workshops around Italy and participate in regular exhibitions and
plein air competitions around Italy."
