Kelly McCarthy, a self-taught artist, has been practicing painting for over 40 years. She is a graduate of Miami University in Ohio and the mother of five children. Kelly is best known for her energetic portraits and abstract paintings which vibrate with color.  Kelly has had an easel in a corner of her home since before becoming a mother in 1998. This claiming of studio space within the domestic realm allowed her to weave being an artist into the fabric of motherhood, homemaking, and family life. Kelly explores the vibrancy of nature in ways that give pause and an opportunity to see connections. She loves to work with clients in creating commissions. A massage therapist of 20 years, Kelly is fascinated with humans, our faces, bodies, and ways of being in the world.
