Jody Kelly, born 1973, is a self-taught artist. With a background in illustration and digital design, Jody has been painting seriously since 2010 working in acrylic on figurative and portrait work, that portrays a strong narrative thread. The approach he has to his paintings is to create snap shots from life that, when taken out of context and displayed as a piece of art, capture an unusual moment in time that is surreal, but not unreal.
