‘Curiosities’ by Kelly Scudieri – At Gifts Inn Boonsboro

Let the Wild Rumpus begin! Kelly Scudieri is joining us for the latest of her fantastical phenomenal phantasmagorical art shows! Join us on May 9th from 5-8pm to meet this fearless painter, musician, and all-round Renaissance Woman in person and fall under her spell.

Title: Curiosities

From Kelly’s website: Kelly Scudieri’s figures stare back at you unabashedly, with soul-revealing eyes, often surrounded by what at first glance appears to be an arbitrary environment. Combining realism and surrealism, her characters, surrounded in majestic color studies, come to life. To Scudieri, the mystery is a part of the beauty of the art. “It’s not so much about “who” specifically these characters are as to the human complexities they represent.”

Scudieri is a graduate of Shepherd University with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Art. After 13 years dedicated to the mental health field, she delved full time into her art in 2003 and was received graciously.
