KELLY Durante creates unique colorful and engaging abstract pieces with acrylic on canvas. Patterns are one of a kind and are likely inspired and influenced by her background in medical anthropology and bio-psychology, and by her day job as an experimental biologist working with cultured cells. In fact, Kelly shares, “Many believe that my years at the microscope have an impact on my art, seeing physiologic or cellular themes. To me, it is an escape from science and a chance to depict fantastical landscapes or supernatural dramas, and to give form to ideas, emotions and dreams—perhaps through the lens of a biologist. There are frequently cells in my art, but they are unconstrained by reality, and may even be villains or heroes in mythic battles.”“ Fun fact: Kelly is the sister of another very talented BBAC artist, Lindsay Peyton.
