Kelly McKernan is an artist and illustrator from Atlanta, Georgia who has, since her youth, possessed the ambition to be a full time creator. In May 2009, she is receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in drawing and painting. However, her focus has been in mixed media, specifically in combining film photography and advanced darkroom techniques with aqueous media painting. Over the last year, Kelly has received local, national, and international recognition for her unique work, has been printed in a number of major publications, and is currently showing with several notable galleries.

Kelly's work is defined by internal struggle in its many forms through personal growth. She illustrates various situations for her female protagonists to interact with through symbolic elements in vague settings. These scenes often comment on the operating consequences of idealism and fantasy due to naivety and youth with two opposing forces at work: natural inclination versus cognitive reasoning. These rival dualities are further represented by stylistic differences and the contrasting mediums of photography and painting. There is deeply personal meaning to be found as the multi-layered struggles depicted in her current body of work reflect her interests and concerns as a growing woman with a penchant for idealism.

Her website is at http://www.kellymckernan.com.

You give me a subscription, I give you prints!

  • Mood: Peaceful
  • Watching: Iron Chef
Yep, my subscription is about to expire and I would love to keep it going for another year!

If anyone would be kind enough to donate another year's subscription, note me with your address and I'll send you two prints of your choice. Current available prints are up on my print shop but I also have prints available of most of the works I've created in the last few months (I just haven't had time to update the shop).

I'd prefer to only have to ship within the US to keep costs down, but I may be able to fudge that. :)
