Kelly Bell - Watercolor paintings and driftwood wreaths At a young age, Kelly Bell’s mother encouraged her creativity by teaching her to knit, sew, draw, and create art from whatever was lying around her house, yard, or on the beach. Now, Kelly enjoys watercolor and loves capturing landscapes, flowers, beach scenes, and other subjects that inspire and bring joy. While at the beach, Kelly collects driftwood and other “treasures from the sand” and creates wreaths adorned with seashells and sea glass.
