About

Kellylynn has always carried a quiet reverence for art. From early childhood, she felt most at home with a pencil or brush in hand. Although self‑taught, she drew inspiration from Canadian wildlife artist Robert Bateman and American wildlife artist John Banovich, whose paintings honored animals and the landscapes they depend on. Over time,  she came to  believe that creativity can cultivate empathy. Subsequently, she applied that insite to her artwork. As a result encouraging others to view the natural world with greater care. However, her artistic path did not unfold in a straight line; during the years she devoted to family life, her practice paused, yet the creative spark never disappeared. Later, in her early senior years, a cancer diagnosis transformed her perspective. As a result she was motivated to return to painting. With renewed purpose and gratitude for each brushstroke, she reconnected with the quiet strength she had always found in nature. Today, her tranquil works reflect profound respect for animals and their habitats; by blending thoughtful color choices with gentle movement, she creates scenes that invite viewers to pause and reflect. In the tradition of many nature and wildlife artists, she shares the beauty of our planet while encouraging its protection. Ultimately, her journey demonstrates 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.
