I'm Kelly, principal of Chaos Studio Seven, and this is my portfolio.
I am a traditional artist (or old school, if you prefer) whose default is pencil and paper. I sketch, draw, and illustrate to my imaginings, stories, and ideas. However, my artistry does venture into the digital realm where I color some of my illustrations in Photoshop. So, don't be fooled, especially by the confidence and tie with my photo. I am a creative, and have been my whole life, to which I do love sporting a comfortable, plain tee more.
During my study at Georgia State University's School of Art & Design, my creative pasttime had carried over from elementary school. (Drawing since the first grade, and writing since the seventh.) In fact, I began in college my Anthology of Mars project and self-published Skies Over Tomorrow: Constellation, a collection of art and short stories. That was a long, on-going project—even throughout a professional services career. It's still ongoing now, with regard to learning marketing and continuing the AOM project.
With a handful of writings published online and newer ones in the works, I am forging a new career that aligns with my creative roots. One which I dedicate to humanity my passions for telling stories, speculating the future, and romanticizing love, and all through prose that ignites the imagination. Thus, chaosstudio7.com.
As an artist, a creative writer, an indie author that also enjoys collaborating with other creatives and or contributing a helping hand, I share with you samples of my artistic and literary imaginings. Including this website.
Enjoy.
Kind Regards,
