Hi! I'm Kellie. I am a self-taught acrylic artist based in Alexandria, Virginia, and reaching art lovers nationwide. People recognize me for my mini paintings, pet portrait paint-by-numbers kits, and detailed, whimsical creations. I've had a paintbrush in hand since I was a child and treasured how art brought me close to my family and friends. My grandfather was a brilliant artist who painted for the joy of creating, and I draw much inspiration from this.Art has always held a special place in my life, a critical source of comfort during times when I struggle with my mental health. Painting helps keep me grounded and lets me process and share my emotions when words fail. I hope my work brings comfort and balance to your life as much as it brings to mine.I began painting more consistently in 2016 and officially founded Kellie Sansone Creates in 2019, quickly growing a reputation for artwork that delights. Now, I want to share my work and help YOU find joy and connection through art.Let creativity empower you!
