About the Artist

Hi! I’m Leslie, the owner of Leslie Kelly Acrylics. What you’ll find is my blossoming passion in self-taught acrylics. A little about me, I’m currently based in Holly Springs, North Carolina, living with my wonderful husband of 27 years and some fur babies (which you’ll often come across in my work!) I currently work as a Recruitment Director at Duke and have two grown children that are out and about in the world. As an empty- nester, I had more time on my hands, and I thought I would try my hand at acrylics to see where it led me. What started out as filling a void, quickly developed into a fulfillment I didn’t even know I needed. Who knew you could find a sense of accomplishment through a paintbrush? 

My inspiration often stems from nature and animals, though I love a client presenting me with a fresh project! For inquiries and commissioned art email me at leslie.kelly55@gmail.com
