Painting for me is a meditative process.

Hi, I’m Kelly Forte’ and I’m a watercolor and mixed media artist. I have been drawing and painting as far back as I can remember, and I’m excited to share my work with the world. Welcome to my website!

Rumi once wrote, “Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.” And now, that’s exactly what I’m going to do, as I embark on this artistic journey.

My paintings are like a meditative spiritual practice for me because it’s how I feel the most grounded and connected. Although my work is now more honed-in on mixed media painting and drawing, the pull I feel to the natural world is still what excites me the most and what I focus on in my work.
