About Me
Madelyn Kelley
Born in Pittsburgh, PA
Lives & works in Johnstown, PA
My name is Madelyn Kelley; growing up in suburban Pittsburgh shaped most of my childhood experiences. I now teach high school art in a rural school in western PA. My art continues to evolve as I do as an artist educator.
Through my art, I often revisit the theme of the human experience. Through my travels and my work in education in the modern era, I have learned that, however different our paths may be, our need for human connection a very similar.
