Celebrating over fifty years in the arts, Tim Kelly studied and applied himself exclusively to the art of portraiture. As an elementary student, he was moved to a high school art program where he studied many mediums, originally excelling in monochromes, such as pencil, inks and charcoal. Etching, however, became a true favorite. Glass etching and printmaking seemed to provide Kelly with his need for detail and fidelity.

From ink-based printmaking, Tim ventured into the darkroom, and that became his new passion. Photographic studies and practice would ultimately lead to his full-time profession as a photographic portrait artist.

Tim Kelly’s photographic work has literally become iconic in American photography, with work in many regions around the country. Kelly has taught, lectured, produced over fifteen DVD’s, published two books, appeared on television many times, and has been written about dozens of  times in all trade publications.

Kelly is an artist who has enjoyed success in several mediums including graphic art, oil painting, drawing, and etching, in addition to music and photography. His black and white work, including portraits created for film, are quite celebrated. Three different pieces have become museum pieces. Kelly portraits have long been collectable and ever increasingly investment worthy.

Tim Kelly is a very blessed man, having been able to sustain an incredible  career while doing the very thing he loves the most, creating fine art portraits for his clients and collectors.
