Kelly Harper Crosby is a fine artist and illustrator based in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Her paintings and drawings celebrate the joys of life.

Kelly has loved art for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she spent hours playing with color in assorted mediums: paint on canvas, ink on paper - even glittery purple crayon on a wall or two when she was very young! She earned a bachelor’s degree in studio art and history from Gettysburg College and studied interior design at Moore College of Art & Design.

Kelly’s creative curiosity has taken her on several adventures abroad, where she has become enchanted capturing modern scenes of time-honored places across Europe. Most recently, she visited Florence, Italy and London, England to learn the traditional techniques of plein air painting at the Florence Academy of Art and London Fine Art Studios.

Today, Kelly’s work ranges from realistic oil paintings to whimsical illustrations. She delights in the details - the textured brushstrokes, the perfect hue, the twinkle in the eye - that bring her work to life. Each piece invites wonder in the beauty of life’s simple pleasures.
