Today, we delve into the vibrant world of Christopher Kelly, exploring some of his standout pieces and getting to know the artist behind the brush.

First, we have "We Are Sails," a piece radiating mid-century modern vibes. It's as if Christopher traveled back to the golden age of modern art, drawing serious inspiration from that era.

Next, "This Time the Dream's on Me" tells a personal story. A mountain enthusiast at heart, Christopher's love for winter is evident in this piece, which beautifully captures the essence of the season.

Christopher's technique is distinctive. He prefers raw canvas, saying, "It adds an element of texture that you cannot replicate with any other canvas."

Interestingly, Christopher's background as a musician influences his artistic process. He embraces imperfections, much like a flubbed drum beat that becomes the highlight of a song. He even left an eggshell in one of his pieces, embodying his philosophy: "I love seeing imperfect things. I think that's what art is."
