Kelly's work was on show in four different spaces at the Showhouse:

See more information on the Showhouse at the Junior League's Web Site and take a look at some of Kelly's work in the pictures below.

When you enter Kelly's space at the Showhouse you are greated on the left by Kelly's 4' by 3' painting of a tulip. Looking into the space you see how Kelly has created a unique atmosphere in a very difficult space. Including creating a table to engage the otherwise totally dominant spiral staircase down to the second floor.
Using strong colors, Kelly created two unique floor cloths to bring warmth and approachability to the space. Using the linen strie finish on the table top as a backdrop, Kelly added a gilded pyramid and her paintings of horses, along with a few other objects, to give the space more of an artists studio feel.
Looking back towards the entrance way, Kelly utilized the existing shelving as a simple and effective display area to show finishes on different boxes and a number of her still life studies. Not the center piece, but certainly a stunning piece, is the 5' by 4' canvas of a horse that Kelly painted. Here is a great view of it.
The last area in the Showhouse that Kelly helped create involved the matte venetian plaster walls in Gina Bellando's space. Gina is showing her wonderful photographs and artwork in the hallway from the second to third flloors. Kelly created the walls as a simple backdrop to help people see and better appreciate Gina's work. Looking down the stairs from the third to second floor, you can see how the matte plaster helps create something special for displaying Gina's work.
