Once upon a time, in the 1970's, Kelly picked up a pencil and started drawing. When she was old enough to understand that she could make a living drawing pictures, she devoted her life planning to do just that.

Some of her clients include Disney, Amazon.com, Microsoft, A&E, Scholastic, Burger King and many other clients who needed lovely images.

In addition to working as an international freelance illustrator for online games and children's books, Kelly has produced art shows in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York.

Her products range from greeting cards, to jewelry, to wrapping papers and fabrics. In 2014, Kelly's designs were licensed to Tree-Free Greetings.

Kelly lives in Seattle with her daughter Lily and their rambunctious cat, Sir Benjamin Gigi.
