About
Kelly Niceley has been exploring life in the inanimate world and the projections humans give to objects for over 20 years, with specific interest in the magic and mysticism imbued in objects. More recently, Kelly has shifted her focus specifically toward the body as a vessel for emotion, energy and spirit. Kelly’s works invite the viewer to commune with divinity in the everyday archetype and with oneself.
​
Kelly is a practicing creative arts therapist assisting a diversity of people with a hands-on healing process through artistic mediums. In 2018, Kelly established the Peace and Protection Healing Arts Collective, which has a mission to reach survivors of trauma to offer healing and support, while uprooting perpetual cycles of violence and exploitation via mental health intervention, and arts and activism.

In 2021 Kelly established a linkage program and currently donates 50% of all online sales to various organizations serving LGBTQ+ people of color. The current list includes:
