hi there!

My name is KellyAnne and I’m an artist living in New York. I didn’t go to art school and my day job certainly has nothing to do with art, but I’m at my happiest when I’m scribbling in my sketchbook or filling a page with paint.

I had a lot of creative dreams when I was a kid, but like many of us, I lost touch with that part of myself somewhere around high school. Years later, moving to New York in 2017 reignited my creative spark, and I started drawing and painting again. Since then, I’ve learned that being an artist is more about staying curious and giving myself permission to play than it is about painting pretty landscapes. For more details on my personal journey, head to my first blog post!

Tapping into my creative self has enriched my life in so many ways, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you. Perhaps you’ll find something here that inspires you to pick up a paintbrush, sign up for that pottery class you’ve been eyeing, or write a poem during your lunch break.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll find here:

• Blog posts featuring artist date ideas, my favorite New York spots, art resources and tips, and lessons I’ve learned from my own creative practice

• Pages from my sketchbook to inspire you to create without judgment

• More in-depth updates on my personal creative goals

• A gallery of my completed collections

I believe everyone is an artist in one way or another, and I hope this space can be a place for us to reconnect with our imagination and the joy that comes from a creative life.
