About Tim Kelly the artist

(the abridged version)

Art makes my heart palpitate. In fact, all things related to art do...old art, new art, the appreciation of art, questions about art, answers about art, events related to art, clouds that form art, waves that sculpt artistically through the water, flowers that beautifully splash color & laughter with the wind and just about anything else with any connection to art. Art is good. That is something I know.

I’ve been an artist since birth. Creativity has always felt right. It's in me.

The West Virginia University School of Creative Arts is where I studied fine art. Since that time I have been creating art and telling stories through fine art & graphic art as a means of income and livelihood. This makes me very happy.

In 2000, I moved to nyc and started showing my artwork. In 2007, i began to curate & produce art shows in addition to showing and selling my own work.

In 2008 I started painting aliens. I cannot stop. It rivals my craving for coffee. The series is called, "Similar Alien".

I've been told my calling is teaching art. Instructing and encouraging artists to create has become a great source of happiness for me. I use my "Art is Good" creative workshops as a platform.

Currently I am growing a group art installation called "The Puzzle Art Project". It is powerful and I am driven to make it a world-wide installation.

So that is my artful life. Making art, teaching art, curating & promoting art shows & creating graphic art.

Life is good. Art is good.
