Collection: Singleton, Kelly

Kelly Singleton was born and raised in rural Maryland. Her passion for animals was instilled early on, and growing up, she expressed this passion through art. She attended the Maryland Institute College of Art, from which she graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration. This led to a career as a graphic artist, which she pursued for over twenty years. Throughout this period, she actively painted and exhibited her wildlife paintings. In 2018, she went full-time with her art and relocated to northern Colorado, where she has been inspired by its wildlife and rugged beauty.

Singleton makes frequent trips into local and national parks of the western United States to observe and gather references of wildlife. These trips fuel inspiration for new work. Back home in the studio, she brings her paintings to life in oils. She hopes her work draws attention to the beauty of nature and conveys the importance of preserving it.

Singleton is a Signature Member of the Society of Animal Artists. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, Wisconsin, and many private collections. She participates in several prominent national shows each year.
