I like a lot of things about what I do here at KWF. But my favorite moments, by far, are those spent discovering, interviewing, and getting to know the stories of our sponsored artists. I approach this year's artist, Kelly McKernan, with great excitement. I and the rest of the KWF team give her mad props for the professional, structured, committed approach she takes towards advancing her craft. And we love the vibrant, emotive, inspired look and feel of her art. There's something elemental here in Kelly's creations. Pausing to take them in feels like connecting with another plane of existence, one waiting just an eyeblink away, a place we would've missed without her careful guidance.
Kelly's art is clearly influenced by the emotions, trials, tribulations, and triumphs of her personal life. We can follow her work, like signposts, and see the way she's journeyed through a personal and creative life on the precipice of sweeping changes.
There is tremendous power in this authenticity. It whisks us to far-flung locales perched on richly surreal terrain, inhabited by the majestic, haunting, and bizarre. So read on. Let's learn more.
