I’m Elaine Kelly. I live in Hertfordshire on a wide beam canal boat. It is here that I have my studio & draw upon the picturesque beauty of my surroundings to help inspire my work. I have been creating art for 25 years now & in this time have undertaken commissions for private buyers & public/commercial sector organisations. I love to work with pastels, acrylic, silk painting, printmaking, photography & sculpture. My work has also been extremely influenced by my extensive travels around the world & the extremes in cultures that I have experienced. My greatest loves for inspiration include Tibet, Cambodia, Vietnam, & Thailand although I have also worked in India, Morocco, Jamaica & parts of Europe.

I also teach an art group which has been running for a year and a half. I work with people who have enduring mental health problems; this group has therapeutic benefits in a mental health setting. To give confidence and self esteem we exhibit their work and this encourages members to socialise and be creative.

I am currently being taught kiln formed glass at Hatfield University in the evenings. Please have a look at my glass creations, Photography, and Art in my gallery. All work featured on this site is for sale.

You are hereby invited to an exhibition by the Mojos art collective at Letchworth Arts Centre which is taking place on the 3rd January 2011 – 31st January 2011.
