About

Though self-taught, Kellylynn has always carried a quiet reverence for art. From early childhood, she felt most at home with a pencil or brush in hand. Over time, she found deep inspiration in the works of Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman and American wildlife artist John Banovich. Their paintings, created by well-known nature-inspired artists, revealed how art can honor animals and the landscapes they depend on. As a result, she grew to believe that creativity can spark empathy and help others see the natural world with greater care.
However, her artistic path did not unfold in a straight line. For two decades, she devoted herself to family life, and her practice paused. Even so, the creative spark never disappeared. Later, in her early 60s, a cancer diagnosis shifted her perspective and encouraged her return to painting. Consequently, she approached each brushstroke with renewed gratitude and intention. This return allowed her to reconnect with the quiet strength she always found in nature.

Today, her tranquil works reflect a deep respect for animals and the natural world. Through thoughtful color and gentle movement, she paints scenes that invite viewers to pause and breathe. Additionally, like many nature-inspired artists, she hopes to share the beauty of our planet while encouraging greater awareness of the need to protect it. Ultimately, her journey shows that creativity has no age limit and that it is never too late to learn, grow, and inspire others through the courage of beginning again.
