Lloyd Kelly is an internationally acclaimed artist whose paintings are rendered in an honest, straight-forward style, characterized by acute observation and meticulous technique. The results are paintings that bound forward with forcefulness and originality. Kelly was born in New Orleans and began his art studies at the University of Nebraska, where he obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Drawing, and then a Master's Degree in Fine Arts and Printmaking from the University of Guanajuato, Mexico. Soon after, he attended the Arts Students League in New York City and finally traveled to Europe to study the masters at the Louvre and the Tate Gallery.

Most of Lloyd Kelly's paintings are about nature. Lush verdant gardens, singular flowers, equestrian subjects, brilliant landscapes and still lifes.
