Artist Statement

Denise Kelly was born and raised in suburbs across the U.S. with a vivid imagination and a visceral need to create. After a college career involving agricultural and business studies, she and her husband relocated to a more rural area to raise boys and livestock. She currently helps to educate high schoolers to appreciate what feeds us – and that includes heavy doses of creativity. Denise finds inspiration for her latest artistic work in the barns and coops of her daily life. Her multilayered and multimedia creations bring joy to collectors across the nation.
