Artist Statement

| O-095 Freedom by Katy Kelley acr 20x16 $150 JUDGES MERIT AWARD |
Formally trained as a registered nurse, and actively working as an intensive care RN.
Raised by an amazing single mom who was an exceptionally gifted artist, I was told "please do not become an artist, for it is a very difficult way to make a living."
I must say I have not received any formal training in the arts.
I first picked up a paint brush during covid.
I love art and music and can not imagine a world without, they are a true blessing in our lives.
As a nurse I have seen more than I often know how to emotionally process, a tremendous amount of pain and suffering. Times I can not, "un-see."
Picking up a paint brush has given me a way to let out some of the stress and passion I feel in life.
Acrylics have made me feel like I am free to create movement, expression, freedom, arts are a language of the soul.
My only hope is that my work may provide a glimpse of joy in our troubled world.
Thank you for your time.
Gratefully, Katy
