Kelly Harper Crosby is an artist specializing in oil painting as well as illustrations in opaque watercolor known as gouache. She paints and draws the joys of life from her sunny studio outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Kelly has loved art ever since she can remember. Growing up, she spent hours playing with color: paint on canvas, ink on paper — even glittery crayon on the wall when she was very young! She earned a bachelor's degree in studio art and history, and studied classical realism and plein air painting at the Florence Academy of Art and London Fine Art Studios.

She began live painting and illustrating guest portraits at friends’ weddings and has cherished every opportunity since. To join the incredibly talented team of artists at Cloud Studio Agency in creating works of art that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments is a true honor. These personalized pieces become framed family favorites and treasured keepsakes for years to come.
