Juror of Selection
Madeleine Kelly, Artist
Artist Statement
I find the artist’s statements to be challenging. As an artist evolution is necessary. Experimentation is required, exploring the tools and rules of texture, color, and design. All are channels for passion and feeling, informing an artistic voice.

Although she never formally studied art, she continues to grow as an artist and has achieved her skills through workshops, museums, and demo presentations with such leading artists as Elizabeth Mowry, Rea Redifer, and Homer Johnson among others. Her works are displayed and admired in public and private collections around the world. Her paintings have been selected for various national and international juried exhibitions. An award-winning exhibitor, she is a Signature member of both the Philadelphia Watercolor Society and the Philadelphia Pastel Society. She is also a member of the American Impressionist Society.

She received the top award, Arete Award of Excellence, at the 2023 Philadelphia Pastel Society National Exhibition.
