Kim Kelley ~ The Artist
Kim Kelley is a visual artist rooted in rural Oregon. After retiring from a long career in high tech, she returned to her first love of art and, through exploration, discovered her voice in colored pencil, drawing on lived experience, ancestral dialogue, and the quiet mysteries of everyday life.
Her current body of work, The Oracle of Feathers, explores transformation, relationship, and continuity through crowned birds and symbolic motifs. Her drawings are rendered in illuminated detail that carry a quiet presence with touches of gold and silver against aged patina. Each piece evokes gothic resonance and subtle foreboding. She invites viewers into reflection and connection that lingers beyond the moment of viewing.
"I invite viewers to engage with themes of transformation and continuity," Kim writes of her series, "finding echoes of their own journey within bird and form."
