About the Art

My compositions merge hand-pulled acrylic gel monoprints, inks, cyanotypes, and metallic accents, ranging in scale from intimate 4x4" panels to substantial 24" works.

Rooted in a tropical aesthetic, the collection features the organic curves of flowing botanicals, seaside textures, and occasional wildlife motifs. By anchoring each piece with deep shades and meticulously hand-layering the cut paper, the artwork achieves visual depth within a two-dimensional plane.

Every original is mounted on a cradled, gallery-depth birch panel and encapsulated in a smooth, high-gloss resin. This luminous topcoat magnifies the hand-detailed surface textures and suspends the bright metallic elements within the layers, beautifully contrasted by the exposed wood grain of the panel edges. All pieces are archival, one-of-a-kind originals, hand-signed and dated.

About the Artist

Kelly Herring is a mixed media artist based in Gainesville, Florida. Informed by a brief academic background in art and architecture, she brings a refined appreciation for structure and composition to organic subject matter. Her work is heavily inspired by her local environment, translating the lush, vibrant forms of her surroundings into contemporary botanical panels. She utilizes the physical contrast between paper textures and sleek, glass-like resin finishes. Her original works are currently exhibited at a local gallery.
