Artist Statement

Kelly Telfer 

Artist & President Telfer Design, Inc.

 

"I am an artist who is passionate about motorsports. I have raced cars, owned a large apparel company specializing in motorsports (which was based on my artwork), and created paintings and licensed products at the highest levels throughout my career.

My goal as an artist is to capture the emotional memories and the visceral sensations of automobiles in every painting. A large part of this happens in composition, which is why I spend so much time on it! Then, beginning with a rough sketch, I add layers of perspective, form, light, and color. I love acrylic because it allows me to paint fast and big, and to keep adding those layers of light and shadow until my passion for the car shines through."
