Kelly Teasley is an Atlanta based artist, living in Grant Park. She has been creating artwork all her life but, has a BA in painting from Antioch College (OHIO) and graduated from The Portfolio Center (ATL) in design. She is also co-owner of Young Blood Gallery & Boutique- (1997-Present). "As an artist I usually draw inspiration from life occurrences and experiences. I float between drawing and painting. I like to write a lot on my drawings-don't ask me what they say -because I don't know. I usually write them in the moment and have a hard time reading my scribbles later. Some of the drawings are more personal and have a story some are just fun reoccurring characters/illustrations that find themselves in my work a lot. I work a lot with animal rescue so animals tend to be the theme in most of my work these days."
