Kelly Dinglasan Minton

I am a self-taught Filipina-American artist and have been painting since childhood. As a first generation American, I was discouraged from becoming an artist, but I continued to paint because I wanted to capture the beauty that surrounded me. I use a continuous line to capture this positive energy in my paintings and my goal is to share it in my work. Whether it's a flower, a place, or an inanimate object - everything has life. We all need hope. We all need love. I want my work to emanate these emotions. These moments of happiness and connection occur every day and I hope to reflect them in my art.
