 Piece I started Saturday after a day I should have stayed in bed. However the day got better so now looking forward to seeing the end result. Letting my mind paint what it feels at the moment for me is so amazing and often makes me wonder.  What a voice.
 "Angel" Created in Memory of a very special lady I had the opportunity to spend time with. Her journey and seeing the Angels, that kept her safe on her journey. I captured her story before I had heard it.   Life can be so amazing and the mind so strong.
 "Arrival"   My story of the Siberians arriving into Canada, the journey  so difficult.
 "After Paris"  This piece and the sad stories around Christmas time, made me not want to paint the way I normally do. So I began my journey on creating a new style or at least trying it out. I wanted to create something beautiful out of the negative things that were happening and facing us each day.
"ARLO"    I painted this for my little grandson while I was there. I am hoping he will enjoy my new style for many years to come.
"Hidden Works" Series      "Life"   Created during my journey of healing after a loss, art became the words I felt but could not say.  Art is such a powerful tool if we allow it to be, art created my recovery. I have been truly grateful for finding the gift I did not realize was within me.

Art by Kelly (Tilly) C. Perry

Created shorlty after the Paris Bombing, changing my style of art on how I felt during this time.

This piece was created when the Syrian refuges began arriving in Kamloops.


Just finished these pieces the last couple of months, since our lives seem to be in a whirl wind I decided I needed to see were my paint brush would take me. No concept of what would end up on the canvas just wanted to have fun from my usual seriousness and precise lines. I did manage to use the same technique I have always used.
