Very process driven, the shape of the panel informs the palette and the decisions of application. Exploring color is the focus, and the intersection of the craft of the object, the painting materials, and the palette chosen, result in the final piece. Moving from smaller tessellating works towards larger installations and groups of irregular shapes, she continues to push towards a more sculptural finish and to remove evidence of the maker&#8217;s hand from the finished work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Kelly graduated from Munson-Williams-Proctor School of Art and moved to the West Coast to attend SFAI. She has lived in San Francisco since 1997 and has worked professionally in the Bay since 2003.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2d8282ac wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-left uagb-block-c5c2fe97 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-middle uagb-block-85d70259 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-container rectangle-right uagb-block-14a79c45 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13037cc1c23ed5b3a4060421084c816d\" style=\"color:#ff00ff\"><em>About Saturdays at the Lab<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturdays at the Lab is a unique series of weekend art workshops connecting professional artists with our local community.
