Welcome to the online portfolio of John Kelley.

Born in 1965 in Hammond, Indiana, John Kelley grew up in St. Louis Missouri and now lives with his wife Elizabeth, and their five children, in Tuscaloosa Alabama. John’s interest in art emerged as a young child and solidified into a passionate calling during his many hours of lingering in the St. Louis Art Museum while in high school. John has a particular interest and appreciation for great landscape painters of the past including Edgar Payne, John Carlson, and William Turner. His time spent studying these masters have inspired the poetic beauty of Kelley’s work and have encouraged him to strive for paintings that have a timeless visual impact with a contemporary bent.
