Kelly’s completed Galapagos originals are painted in her private studio using artistic field reference gathered from repeated expeditions to the Galapagos Islands with her most recent journey being in December 2011. In 2008 Kelly journeyed on a scouting mission with her husband to Ecuador to explore the Galapagos Islands – a precursor to receiving an AFC Flag Expedition fellowship to return once again in 2009 for her longest expedition spending 40 remarkable days and nights studying, sketching and photographing the unique animals and plants of the islands.
