About Kelly Snyder
Kelly Snyder
Certified in animation and design, internationally acclaimed and award-winning NoVA resident artist and muralist

Art is a therapeutic activity for Kelly, as she believes it can be for everyone. Art is about creativity, spontaneity, and self-expression of the heart. Her creative process often involves working on multiple pieces at once, moving from inspiration to inspiration, and listening to her inner guide. Yet not all art needs to be uplifting - some is playful, while some may be about healing.
Originally from Brooklyn, Kelly now resides in Northern VA and creates her art in her home studio. See CV below.
