A lot of Kelly's work has an Urban, street art feel to it. I love when she makes the necks very long and elegant. Her color choices are subtle which makes the subject of the figure pop. I really enjoy her newbrow sense of style.
Eric Bailey's paintings are very provacative and sexy. Not only because of their subject matter, but color choice, detail, brush strokes, and the richness and thickness of the paint used.

FLORA ART is one of my favorite local artists. She has a unique perspective on life and conveys this through her paintings in a very elegant and girly, yet creepy way that I adore.
