You’ll most likely find Kelly teaching a workshop at Atelier in Reno.

She opened the Reno location in September of 2020 after working as the workshop manager for Atelier Truckee for five years.

When she’s not painting or, teaching painting, she enjoys spending time with her new baby, family and two cats. And, they all spend a lot of time in nature, hiking, biking and soaking up vitamin D.

​Kelly received ​a ​Bachelor's degree in Journalism with an emphasis in advertising from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2007 and a Master's of Fine Art with an emphasis in Interdisciplinary Arts from Sierra Nevada College (now, UNR Lake Tahoe) in Incline Village, Nevada in August 2017.
