BIOGRAPHY

Kelly Kahn, a native of Albertville Alabama, has had a passion for art since childhood. At six years old she was drawing likenesses from book illustrations she enjoyed. Kelly practiced this interest in art mostly while sitting in the pew at church services. She then illustrated a cookbook during her middle school years which eventually lead her in the career path of art and aesthetics.

After college, a career and licensing in commercial Interior Design in Birmingham, Alabama, Kelly eventually leapt into the painting world in 1997 and attacked portraiture. She also has been teaching year round children/teen art classes (Art Can Be Learned) for 11 years. Some of her students have won awards state wide as well as in their local school. Most of all, Kelly's goal is to teach all of her students to enjoy art.

Birmingham, Alabama is where Kelly makes her home with her husband and two daughters. Nationally known artists Jan Kunz, Paul Leveille and Winslow Homer have influenced her knowledge and work greatly. Other local artists such as Frances Jones, Dori Decamillis, Rollina Ogelsbay, John Lonergan and Al Sella have helped to develop her talents. She paints in all mediums but particularly in oil and watercolor. Her subject matters have been figurative, architectural, landscapes, still lives and portraiture.
