About Kelli Hulst

My corner of the art world~

Welcome to my artistic journey! I'm Kelli Hulst, and from as far back as I can remember, creativity has been my constant companion. As a child, art was my source of happiness and a vital way to express myself. The joy of creating has always been a significant part of my life.

My high school years were filled with numerous art classes. By the time I was a senior, I was immersed in independent study, spending countless happy hours in the art room. During that period, I even painted murals on my bedroom walls, turning my personal space into a canvas of my imagination.

Though I didn't pursue art formally in college, my passion for creativity found an outlet in dance, my other great love. This period kept my creative spirit alive and flourishing.

Life took a different turn when I had kids, which put a pause on my personal artistic pursuits. However, I found joy in crafting with my children, and our kitchen cabinet overflowed with art supplies. Whether it was for the kids or for myself, creativity was always present, quietly building up.

As my children grew older and more independent, I found the time to rekindle my passion for art. It began with jewelry making and other fun crafts. Then, two years ago, I faced a dilemma: I wanted a painting for our dining room but couldn't find one that resonated with me. So, I decided to create my own. That decision led me to explore big canvases, paintbrushes, and an online art class with Australian artist Laura Horn. This experience opened my eyes to mixed media and countless painting techniques, and I haven't looked back since.
