a b o u t :

I’m Kelly — an artist, writer, creative guide, and the founder of Odette Press, a small batch stationery studio specializing in carefully crafted marbled cards and journals created in nature, made with the intention to support self discovery through travel and the act of writing.

My work centers on empowering creative and embodied practice through art, writing, movement, reflection, conversation, and connection with your senses in the environment.

I love exploring life through: contemplative investigations, walking, writing, immersion in nature, road trips, photo documentation, meditation, question-asking, conversation, connection with sense experiences, cooking, baking, hiking, video making as ways of developing intuitive understanding of self, each other, and the wonders of nature. My writing and teaching explores the relationships between embodiment, art, communities, creative expression, each other, the earth, and the nature of life.

Always in search of a tactile experience, I center my art on paper marbling, bookbinding, cooking, journaling, photography, experience design, and writing. I lead experiences for individuals, teams, and small groups both around the globe that serve as foundations for conversation, connecting to yourself, connecting to the earth, and coming back to creativity.
