Kelly Maines recently moved back to Maine from Texas. She is the newest studio artist in the Artdogs Studio community. 

​

"My working style begins with an inspiration, which can be anything;  A blade of grass, a plastic bag blowing across the street, or the smell of a garbage truck passing by. I may photo reference the inspiration and begin to sketch out my ideas. I experiment with materials, color, and design during this beginning process. Painting is a physical activity as I move and manipulate materials and paint, forming the shapes, values, and works placed in space. I weave these things in and out of the surface until I reach my destination with the piece."
