I am Kelly Peñaloza.  I was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland.  Currently, I live and work just outside of Baltimore.  Art has always been  passion for me since I grew up and went to many museams in the B/W metro area.  Right now, I am working on mixed media with acrylics, watercolor and dried flowers.  My work started out as abstract, but now I am working on more of a surreal, but naturalistic feel to my work.  I am so glad that I can share my art with family, friends and others on this site.   I will be posting more paintings as they come.   I hope you enjoy the paintings.
