Hiiii I am Kelly Lorene Flanary!!!

I grew up nestled in a suburban cul-de-sac in the river city we now call Sacramento, California. The traditional homelands of the Nisenan, Southern Maidu, and Valley Miwok native peoples. I was raised by a 5th-grade teacher, a moonlighting inventor, a secret artist, a 50’s housewife, a magnolia tree, a variety of cat paws, cups of chocolate milk, and a land called Woolman.

I make art that explores the continuous cycles of our deep relationships: to self, each other, the land, the cosmos, grief + loss, and food. Always and forever inspired by my inner child who loves colored pencils and drawing lil stars around everything. My pencil box typically includes yarn, plants, snacks, colored pencils, dog kisses, wood, flowers, hugs + snugs, macaroni and cheese, bristol paper, dance parties, fabric, sun naps, large cereal bowls of patience, and cardboard.

I currently live in los angeles, ca in a treehouse with my cat toast and partner !

Besides doing art, I am also a bodyworker + doula :)
