About The Artist

Kel Clark was born and raised in a small town in Texas, a place where structure and expectations shaped much of her life. For years, she built a career in the corporate sector, navigating the precision and logic of finance. Yet, despite outward success, something remained untapped—until everything unraveled.
Painting found her when she needed it most. After emerging from a profound bipolar episode that sent her life into chaos, she discovered a medium that offered both control and freedom. In the layering of acrylics, the bold strike of charcoal, and the unpredictable glow of gold leaf, she found balance—a space where energy and refinement coexist. Her work is an exploration of power, depth, and resilience, each canvas a testament to transformation.
Rather than passively depicting the world, her paintings demand presence. Every piece holds tension between movement and stillness, emotion and restraint. The interplay of textures and tones invites interpretation, a dialogue between the viewer and the art itself. For Kel, painting is not just an expression but an assertion—a reclamation of self, a mark that cannot be erased.
