Now Showing in the Gallery: "Exploring the World in Pastels"
Kellie Haskill is the featured artist at the Bakersfield Art Center for the month of February.
Kellie was born in Bakersfield and moved to the mountains of Lake Isabella when she was very young. Her brother was a natural artist and her biggest inspiration. So she started by drawing every natural thing around her until she was in high school where she switched to painting. She progressed well and won the Bank Of America award in her senior year.
Between raising a family and taking care of her close relative, she only had time to dabble in acrylics and oils.
However, she really came alive when she discovered pastels. And it was a perfect medium for her to express her love of nature and animals in particular.
A reception will be held from 6 to 8 PM on Friday, February 6th at the Bakersfield Art Center which is located at 1607 19th St. in Bakersfield.
