About Me

---

Here's a little about myself...

   Kelly Lynn Wright was born and raised in Helper, Utah. She is a self-taught artist working in oils, acrylics, watercolor, and charcoal. She was commissioned to do the artwork for Urgent Care in Price, Utah  2017.  Gallery East Art Exhibit 2020. And recently began a mentorship with Jean Claude Gaugy. Her first introduction to the world of art was back in 1998, when she drove 200 miles once a week to learn all the aspects of Porcelain Doll making. Her Native American dolls were showcased in West of Santa Fe at Ceasar's Forum Shops in Las Vegas for 12 years and were sold and shipped all over the world! She started her journey with a paintbrush late in life, so every spare moment she has is spent creating.

             Artist Statement 

Painting is my sanctuary—a way for me to escape and let creativity guide me. Most of the time, when I sit down to begin a new piece, I have no idea where it will take me. Often, the finished work is completely different from what I imagined at the start, and I love that unpredictability. It’s a reflection of the diversity you’ll find in my art.



I’m captivated by the endless possibilities of creation. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums—acrylics, oils, watercolor, inks, and textures—constantly mixing things up to keep my process fresh and exciting. For me, art isn’t about following a set path; it’s about exploration and discovery.



There’s nothing more rewarding than stepping back after finishing a piece and thinking, “Wow… I did that.” It’s this sense of wonder and satisfaction that drives me to keep creating and sharing my work.
