Production on this series came to an end on January of 1983 with a final episode that was viewed by over 25 million people. With the incredible success of "M*A*S*H" and continued re-runs worldwide Kellye is in demand as a performer and for public appearances. She spent the next several years after "M*A*S*H" traveling the country appearing n TV commercials as a spokesperson for IBM.

Kellye's collection "The Gardens of Pasadena" features historical landmarks, gardens, and neighborhoods in Pasadena, CA. Her master paintings are on indefinite loan to the City of Pasadena and currently exhibit at the Pasadena Police Department Headquarters. Her painting "Koi" was selected by Senator Jack Scott in 2001 to represent his district where it was on exhibit at the State Capitol. Kellye was commissioned to paint the Maguire Gardens at the Central Library, which were made into invitations and lithographs for the New Jersey reception during the Democratic National Convention.

Known for her bold use of color, Kellye's paintings are a popular art collector's item. Her watercolor paintings are available as special edition lithographs, giclees and note cards.
