Kelly Anna is a London-based artist, illustrator, and designer. Known for her powerful, silhouetted figures with a strong focus on movement, sport and wellness.
Kelly started out her early years as a dancer and gymnast. Going onto study Fashion Illustration and print design for apparel and footwear before taking the leap to go freelance.
Over the last few years Kelly has designed trainers, painted huge murals, curated exhibitions, embellished your favourite popcorn, and even painted a football pitch.
Her success has been solidified by the collaborations she has worked on, from designing two collections with Nike, working with numerous clients such as BMW, Penguin, NFL and so many more to having her prints worn by the likes of Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. And in true full circle style, she now has her own signature paint colour with LeFranc Bourgeois ‘Bleu Kelly Anna’.
Alongside her work, Kelly has spoken at 20 of the biggest Art & design festivals across the globe. Speaking candidly and passionately about what it means to be a mother in the creative industry, the juggle, the joy and how we can better support women balancing both worlds.
