While Soul Finding



Who are you? Looking at me so calm but concerned..
In this world without time,
Full of disconnected realities.
I have travelled undetected so far...
What do you want from me?
Why are you crying my tears??
Why can I see you smiling my smiles??

What do I see when I see me?
Am I a true reflection of who I want to be?
Do I really like what I see?...

I sit here by this water looking beyond my eyes... searching for a reflection without a voice to yell at me.. ‘find your soul...go searching now..’

As this beauty hits me in the face... while the sun sets I then understand..
why do I look for my soul so far?? Why do I not simply open my eyes... it’s staring at me...

In this world without time,
Full of disconnected realities,
In which I have travelled undetected so far...
In this world that I thought took it from me..
My silent reflection was yelling at me... ‘HERE IS YOUR SOUL’

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.
