Hello,
I am an American expat and retired zoologist turned author. I am also the daughter of the unfathomably talented artist Avonelle Kelsey (1931-2009). I maintain a separate gallery, The Avonelle Kelsey Gallery (http://the-kelsey-gallery.artistwebsites.com), with some of her artwork here on FAA.
Despite being raise around gart alleries and in studios my entire life, it was not until after Avonelle's death that I began tiptoeing around the fringes of art forms other than photography. Suddenly, in less than a year, I can’t get enough. From my home in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I've gone back to college and am studying Graphic Design. The rest of the time I find myself seeking out precious moments to learn about/explore my own visions of the art I now long to create.
