Creator Wave: Humans are vessels gifted with the ability to translate cosmic energies in order to express it creatively. Every creative expression has been motivated by some kind of inner voice. Creator Wave is designed to highlight the artistic momentum exerted by the human soul. Showcasing visual art from all types of artists – from the recognized and established to the relatively obscure.

Creator Wave Vol 29: Kelly Allen

www.kellyallen.com

Kelly Allen is a San Francisco resident and full time painter. Living in a tiny apartment that also serves as her art studio, she has made use of every single inch of space given to her for her art. The medium of collage art is widely accepted as the construction of new art from previous materials. Kelly Allen sources her collages out of real paintings she makes herself. It’s a truly unique process and brings forth some of the most expressive pieces in this style of art that I have been exposed to. A very creative human being, I was immediately interested in her works when my good friend Brandon showed me her page. She is very active in the arts and enjoys simplicity in the bustling atmosphere of city life.

As her bio states, “As a new girl to the city, I love exploring the different pockets and neighborhoods, sniffing all of the rose bushes and dodging the piles of human detritus on the sidewalks of the Mission. In addition to painting and drawing, I am a freelance illustrator and writer, and I occasionally design screen-printed apparel that Jay fantastically executes in T-shirt form.

When I’m not painting, I can be found: inventing new kinds of soup, picking through thrift stores, walking for miles around the city, watching reruns of Ren and Stimpy or nature documentaries, drinking wine and dancing to soul music (with or without the company of others).”
