KIM JELLEY
THE ARTIST
Welcome to the galleries of award winning artist Kim Jelley.
Completely self taught, this innovating multi media artist began expressing her talent through charcoals. Most of her drawings were inspired by the incredible art of master fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta.
In 1997, Kim was introduced to polymer clay and thus began her unexpected yet exciting dollmaking journey. In the year 2000, Kim won first prize in the Professional Dollmakers Prosculpt contest for her one of a kind portrait doll, "Marilyn". Kim's work has been featured in numerous doll magazine publications, books and calendars including Dollreader, Dollcrafter, UK's "Doll" magazine(8/02),(9/04) "Dolls" magazine (5/02, Dolls of Diversity 2004-2005 calendar and the book "Contemporary American Doll Artists and Their Dolls" by Kathryn Witt, published 2004. Kim's work was featured on the front covers of both the book and the calendar. Kim is an artist member of The Artist Doll Gallery and AADA.
Endlessly challenging herself toward exciting new ways to express her art, in August 2005 Kim began painting and enameling heart charms like the world has never seen before. Please be sure to visit her website, www.thepaintedheart.com for available heart charms and charm bracelets. |
