Summary

Vanessa Kelly is an award-winning Melbourne-based artist who paints stunning Australian landscapes and seascapes, and urban scenes. Vanessa's passion for painting and her architectural background are evident in her work. Her early years growing up in country Victoria, and subsequent relocation to urban Melbourne create recurring themes of landscape, space and texture that are visible in her paintings. Fluent in oil, watercolour and acrylic, she uses these mediums to depict the subjects of her work. In 2018 she won both the John Leslie Art Prize and the King Valley Art Prize.
