As a fluid artist, Kelly Fletcher is inspired by the natural world and its constant movement and change. She loves working with a mix of intention and chance, letting colour flow and find its own way into forms that feel alive. Her process is very much like nature itself — a balance of guiding and letting go, and enjoying the transformation as it happens. Kelly’s fluid art journey began during the pandemic when she discovered this technique on YouTube, turning a curious experiment into a comforting refuge and, ultimately, a full-time passion. Kelly shares her work publicly through exhibitions in three art galleries and actively participates in art markets.
