MADELEINE KELLY
An artist and educator, Madeleine Kelly has judged numerous exhibitions. Her studio is in Southeastern Pennsylvania. She favors a quote from journalist Bill Moyers which best describes her personal approach to her art, "Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.” Madeleine believes art is passion, discovery, evolution and an endless journey and loves to explore the versatility of multiple mediums. Her greatest joys are playing with textures and color. Although her inspirational triggers are everywhere it is often the medium itself that drives her.
