Caroline Kelly’s journey as an artist began unexpectedly during her senior year of high school. When COVID lockdowns began, she found herself with more free time than ever and with a few art supplies she had accidentally taken home from class. With no prior experience, she started painting to fill the days and quickly discovered a passion that changed her path. That spark inspired her to take a leap in college, declaring a studio art minor alongside her communication studies. In 2024, she graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a minor in Studio Art.

What began as a hobby quickly grew into something larger. Caroline began selling her pieces in local shops and eventually shipped her work to customers across the United States. In 2022, Caroline began selling her work at art shows, and even started teaching painting classes.

Originally from Pike Road, Caroline moved to her dream city of Fairhope, Alabama, after graduation, where she pursues a career in marketing and digital design while continuing to grow her art practice. Throughout the years, she has found her niche in pop art and portrait art, with a love for blending realism and unexpected, unusual details that make each piece stand out.

“I am so grateful for each and every one of you who have supported and followed along with me throughout this. Thank you!” - Caroline
