Play and experimentation is a big part of my process. This piece took shape through keeping in the mindset of play and enjoying the journey. I attempt to stay very much in the moment when creating a painting.

Through a layering technique, I have incorporated acrylic paint, collage, image transfers, and various mark making tools into this painting. This piece is on a 2” cradled wood panel. This painting is sealed with a UV Topcoat and varnished for protection with a layer of cold wax. Ready to hang.

This piece has a beautiful, rich surface that is evidence of its history. Layers of paint and ephemera create a textured surface that Kelley-Cruz uses to tell a story of what makes us who we are. What things in our own histories have shaped us? Kelley-Cruz uses color and composition to create “visual poems” that are delicate and sometimes raw. This painting is sealed with a UV Topcoat for protection.
