Just Down The Road

It is early morning… my senses are awakening as I take in the the view….

I see… the wisdom hidden in the ancient willows, the green pasture that have no end… I am conflicted with a sense of infinity… a long road ahead…I am trying to understand if in this instance, infinity and eternity are them same.

It is early morning… I am waking up the day… I hear the water running beside me and it fills me with peace.. I taste the smell of autumn I hear the sound of the wind… I have a calling to tell a story, a story that must remain, that will carry on to the generations ahead… I need to inspire peace and start the change…

I pick up my brush and focus on the senses!! I line words in my soul to begin my tale… it is night… darkness engolfes me but I remain at peace… I remember the infinity until my eyes can see.. and I paint..

It is early morning and as I rise I am at peace, I feel a sense of completion and achievement that the calling of this message lies there… still and beautiful on canvas… for eternity…

I can find beauty in the most imperfect things, I can see beauty in the ugliness of life, I can draw beauty from the dark, I can bring beauty to light with my paint, I can paint the beauty and the ugly that touches in a spiritual way, that inspires creativity, passion and change."- Kelly Morley
Hi, my name is Kelly and I have been drawing since I as four years old. I started drawing detailed horse portraits at a very early age. I was trying to understand the shades and forms, the lines and shadows that represent this beautiful animal. I became obsessed with drawing them, painting them, observing them and dreamt so deeply of one day owning my own. That dream became my passion and grew my hunger to learn more about art and different mediums.
I grew up in a small country town in our beautiful snowy mountains. I attended a local school and my curiosity of art drove me to start my own journey. I enrolled at TAFE to help my formation and understanding of this passion. I am a mum of two beautiful souls and found my soul mate many years ago. He is my rock, my strength and the beautiful father of my children. He supports and inspires me everyday. I am a very community driven person and contribute to my local community through my work everyday. I am a nurse and try to make a difference in those people who need us most, I have seen how vulnerable the strongest man can be when faced with death. I am confronted with the cliché of life on a daily basis, being so close to life and death helped me understand that the smallest act of kindness will never go unappreciated, or at least unnoticed.
I have an ability to inspire others with my art, I endeavour to paint from the heart and the gift of empower change with a single stroke of paint drives me and inspires me everyday. I see beauty and inspiration in everyday life from the beauty of a single sunset to the magnificence or ugliness of nature and life. I wear my heart on my sleeve and would love for you to see beauty in those emotions through my art.
I was honoured with the first price on the 50th Anniversary of the Raglan Gallery and further blessed with the opportunity to have Imants Tillers as a mentor. I hope you enjoy my art and are inspire by it.
