Montana Native, Kelley Partridge, started creating art in 2013 when she was hired to teach the paint & sip style classes. Having never created on canvas Kelley was more than a little nervous, but just started. What she discovered was an inner peace that she so needed. Talent came with time along with healing. Kelley is an incest survivor. Growing up she wasn't taught positive coping tools and she had buried this trauma until creating arrived. Breaking her silence to her family in 2007 led Kelley and her three small children to becoming homeless. She has struggled, learned, healed and grown. Kelley is an example of overcoming life's trials and making something beautiful from pain. Everything she creates is part of her continued healing. She states "I'm okay with the world when I paint!" Through the creative process and creating a still mind, Kelley discovered a shift while in creative flow. What she knows now as channeling. This feeling, seeing, sensing energy assists her while creating and what she calls the intuitive process. She is able to capture deceased loved ones essence in portraits and channel  manifesting symbols (sigils). We ALL have gifts just waiting for us to tap in. This is Kelley leaning in to hers.
