I am an emerging artist predominantly working in acrylic paint. I paint landscapes and portraits, experimenting with expressionist and impressionist styles, impasto and bold colour palettes.
My current body of work is a study of classical portraiture. I am recreating classic portraits with heads and faces of animals, modifying the original images.

Art by Kelly Samantha
Nestled at the foot of the Dandenong ranges, from my studio I create abstract paintings both originals and commissions. I work with acrylics, pastel and posca markers. I am obsessed with colour and whimsical detailing that captures the eye and the imagination

Landscapes and nature are Kelly's usual subjects.
She is a self-employed mother of 3, a passionate renovator, a short-stay host and a creative spirit.
Living between the Dandenong Ranges and the Mornington Peninsula Kelly is never wanting for inspiration. The misty mountains with their towering mountain ash, the rolling hills with verdant motivation, and the big peninsula skies and everchanging palette are always at the forefront of her creations.
