Cameron Michael Kelley’s art is an expression of his life experiences and he enjoys painting scenes that he has lived and scenes that live in his memory.
‘Cam’ was born and raised in the Boston area and as a child enjoyed drawing and illustration. As he grew, his interests in life changed and he only practiced art during a couple required art periods in high school and a few elective art classes in college.
After living in Boston for several years, he moved to a western suburb with his wife Sandra and son John. His suburban life of commuting and coaching youth sports had begun but after a few years he set up a small drawing board in their basement and he began painting. At first he painted with acrylics but he quickly transitioned to oils while painting on evenings and weekends.
Three years ago Cam and Sandra moved to SW Florida and he is now painting full time. As a self taught painter he has learned to trust the process of researching the subject matter, sketching for composition and the rendering of color studies. His primary area of concentration is in portrait and figurative work as well as seascapes and landscapes.
Cam hopes that his work presents a personal perspective that in some way will connect with the viewer and will invite others to take a closer and different look at our world.
He is represented by Avondale Arts, Watch Hill, RI and The Reef Gallery at the Ocean Reef Club, Key Largo, FL. His work also appears in many private collections.
