About

Kelly O’Brien is an artist hailing from the Texas Hill Country, whose work encompasses fine art, Western spirit, and raw emotional expression.

Known for her process videos and large-scale paintings that blend abstract expressionism with echoes of Basquiat, Picasso, and the American frontier, Kelly’s art has quickly drawn the attention of collectors, curators, and creatives alike.

Her journey began as a deaf artist with a camera in hand at age 13, eventually leading her across the globe—from professional photography and graphic design to a flourishing career in fine art. After years of working behind the scenes in magazines, Hollywood and fashion, Kelly returned to her roots in 2021, creating art that speaks volumes without a single word.

With paintings of all ranges and select commissions available by request, Kelly’s work explores themes of power, vulnerability, independence, and identity. Each piece serves as a portal into her untamed imagination and deep artistic truth.

Whether she’s installing murals, consulting with interior designers, or selling museum-scale work straight off the gallery floor, Kelly O’Brien is a rising name at the forefront of contemporary neo-expressionist and Western art.
