Kelly Stevens-McLaughlan

Kelly is a self-taught artist who re-found her talents. She lives with her husband and two dogs in rural Devon in the southwest of the UK. 

Kelly finds inspiration all around her and forever taking pictures and typing ideas onto her phone. Kelly is a lover of the absurd and whimsical which comes across in her artworks, and of course a big animal lover, so many of her artworks feature animals in absurd situations. 

Kelly mainly works digitally, creating her images straight onto the computer screen, and enjoys working in a few different styles. 

Working digitally allows Kelly to work in great detail and include elements that will never be seen, but she likes to know that they are there… hidden away. Occasionally some of her characters have things under their hats or in their pockets. Finishing a picture digitally gives Kelly the ability to work with secret layers of knick-knacks and keepsakes that belong only in the 2D world of the image she is creating.
