Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Kelly Louise Judd

Kelly Louise Judd is an artist living in Kansas City, having received a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute in 2002.She is inspired by flora, fauna and folklore, and has a deep appreciation of the Arts and Crafts movement.Judd uses her talents to compose surreal compositions which beg us to ponder these symbols’ greater meanings.Human figures and animals are combined with flowers, ferns overlay the long tails of two cats, a lanky heron gracefully perches among bluebells and sunflowers, and human hands reach upward to reveal sprawling botanicals.Rendered on neutral-toned backdrops, the works evoke the patterns and organic recurrences found throughout the natural world.“I’m very drawn to Romanticism and Transcendentalism,” Judd shares.“The interconnectedness of nature and all things and particularly our response to nature while in solitude is the deepest inspiration for me.”More of Kelly Louise Judd’s magical paintings can be found at https://kellylouisejudd.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/swanbones/.
