Kelly has been exhibiting, selling, and promoting the work of living artists for nearly a decade. Her first steps toward a career in the arts began as an art history and PR student at Virginia Tech, where she directed a community gallery showcasing work by student, faculty, and local artists. She began her arts career in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she interned at the Geogria O’Keeffe Museum before getting involved in Santa Fe’s eclectic commercial gallery market. Here she worked as an art consultant, marketing director and gallery director before developing her own business as a PR consultant and freelance marketer for local galleries and artists. Her freedom as a freelancer also allowed her to delve deeper into arts journalism, publishing articles in American Art Collector Magazine, Western Art & Architecture Magazine, and others.
Kelly expanded her freelance business to Northern Utah in 2017, where she is now an independent curator and art consultant. Starting with pop up exhibitions for local contemporary artists, she also collaborates with like-minded organizations such as Ogden Contemporary Arts to curate large-scale exhibitions and expose national contemporary artists to the community.
Kelly’s consulting business, Art House, advocates for art and expression both at home and in the community, integrating her passion for the visual arts and creative spaces. Visit arthouse.consulting to learn more about her integrated work as an art curator and residential realtor.
