When you think of art and life in a post pandemic world or someone pouring their heart and soul into their art you don’t have to look much further than local artist Kelli Suzanne. Her art goes way beyond paint on canvas. She exudes the artist lifestyle. From her lively paintings to her pottery creations to her modeling to the way she carries herself, you know immediately that she is a true artist.

Kelli’s paintings are bright and full of life and she describes herself as a ‘surreal impressionist’ and that her art speaks to what she is doing. The eclectic blend of colors and brush strokes lends itself to one’s imagination and is open to interpretation.

“Where Impressionism dealt with realistic everyday scenes painted in a stylized way, Surrealism depicted unnatural scenes painted in a realistic style.”

“Famous Impressionists include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Frédéric Bazille, Edgar Degas, and Édouard Manet.”

“The Surrealism movement was the descendant of Dada. Dada was an art movement of the early 20th Century that was heavily grounded in politics. Dadaism came as a reaction to WW1 and Dadaists considered their movement to be “anti-art”.

“Famous Surrealists include André Breton, René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Man Ray, and arguably Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, though Kahlo distanced herself from the movement stating “They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.”
