Artist Statement
What excites me about creating are the possibilities which exist within the medium.
To see a form emerging as I hammer, fold, stitch, draw or shape a piece is a tangible pleasure.
This process of making is what I am passionate about.

Brief CV
Bio
Kel was born in 1971 in outback New South Wales. She is currently living in Adelaide near the beach and the Australian landscape influences her work, in whatever medium she works in, through its colour and vibrancy.
