Artist Biography
Kathleen Kelly was born in a log cabin in the Missouri Ozarks and grew up in Washington State, California, Missouri, and Florida. While married to a Navy pilot, she continued her travels and studies in Maine, Virginia, Florida, and Hawaii, where she studied portraiture, oil painting, and collage. Returning to Virginia, Kelly turned to printmaking as her primary means for recording and reflecting her experiences. She exhibited widely under the name Kathleen Kelly Middleton for over 15 years. From 1978 through 1994, she maintained a studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
As a printmaker, Kelly has developed a special viewpoint via the difficult method of the color aquatint and etching. Specific places at a particular time as well as commonplace objects in isolated settings glow with the jewel-like colors for which she is known. With her continuing series of hand-pulled etchings of the Maine Coast, and other favorite places, she has captured the beauty of a quiet moment and suspended it in time.
Kelly maintains a fully equipped printmaking and painting studio in Southwest Harbor Maine, and a smaller studio in Annandale, Virginia. She has taught classes and workshops in painting, fantasy collage, rubber stamping, and mixed media. She is currently represented by Capital Gallery of Frankfort, Kentucky and in her own studio/gallery, The Pressure Point. She publishes an Artist Newsletter, "The Pressure Point Diary".
