Kelly Sullivan Art Educator/Maker

 
 

I have been teaching and learning art processes for a good portion of my life and I enjoy the process just as much as the end product. I make things out of clay, fabric, paper. My degree is in printmaking which is do love but there is just so many processes and so little time.

Healthy Taste, inc.

 
 

Our organization is going on it's 7th year of offering a plant based (vegan friendly) food festival. Our 2nd year as a 501c3.

Our primary focus is on plant based whole foods that help improve your health and immune system. We try to get as many resources as we can to come together into one event and then showcase those resources in an annual festival.

Although we believe in the ethical treatment of animals, our primary focus is on plant based foods and education. We also have a strong desire to help any small business that aligns with our values, particularly minority and veteran owned. We do this by offering local exposure, and sometimes, subsidized exhibit space at our events.

Our priority is making our festivals family friendly and suitable for all ages, so we restrict certain products and content. We would love to have have local non-food artisans participate in our festivals as well. Contact us to find out more details.

I merge vintage aesthetics with contemporary progressive ideas and humor. Similarly, I draw with an old-fashioned dip pen and color digitally in Photoshop. My love for traditional pen and ink drawing pulls together my specialties: portraiture/figure drawing, editorial illustration, pattern design, plein air painting, and hand-lettering.

This inspiring energy becomes infused into the art piece. I enjoy creating contemporary fabric art that has visual and/or actual textural elements. These elements often include beads, vintage buttons, feathers, hand-painted and manipulated fabric, yarns, and found objects. My art is eco-friendly. I create with recycled and repurposed items as much as possible. I love the play of textures and colors found in nature. I am influenced by African, Asian, & Tibetan cultures.
