Chrysalis Art About Us

Carmen Kelley has worked for the past 12 years in various aspects of creative design and marketing.
These projects consist of assisting Real Estate Professionals with their Internet presence, working in
the E-Commerce division of a jewelry company, creating presentation materials for large corporations,
and custom design projects for small and medium companies.

"I enjoy getting to know the clients and their business needs – then I put their ideas to
work and turn that information into something visual to enhance their business image."

"As a child I enjoyed any occasion to create small works of art as greeting cards.
My inspiration comes largely from the many changes seen in nature. When I observe
the paint and water join together and dance across the paper or canvas I am reminded
of the transformation that takes place all around us. The changes in seasons, the
germination of a tiny acorn into a beautiful tree, the transformation of the caterpillar into
the butterfly are all symbolic of growth and change much like our journey as soul."

Carmen is also an award winning fine artist, creating works of art in watercolor, pastel, and mixed
media. Her free spirit and whimsical nature are personified in her work. She likes to play at making art;
often creating bold and dramatic designs. Her artwork can be found in numerous private collections,
and is part of a special exhibit in the schools of Tanzania.
