Certain views and sights are captured in the mind and visited in the memory, where they can inspire again the sensation or impulse of the first impression.  From the first Brownie snapshot (of Dad) way back when, the camera has been a means of sharing the moment witnessed with others.  Learning whether viewers are similarly moved or are struck in a different way entirely enhances her enjoyment of the work and Kelly is always glad to exchange impressions or hear feedback from gallery visitors.  

    
     Digital photography is appealing for its versatility and economy.  Reviewing shots by screen before committing to printing, frees this photographer to shoot more.  The option of producing finished work in the home studio, with increased creative control and minimal waste, is a further boon.  In mounting pictures, Kelly attempts to keep with the form, feeling and character of the images, utilizing rescued frames whenever possible.  Archive quality inks, paper and mats, as well as non-glare glass, enhance the appearance and longevity of the finished product.

     Public exhibition and sale of photographic work is a relatively new endeavor for this artist.  She has been included in shows at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville and the Vermont Photography Workplace/Photoplace Gallery in Middlebury.  Together with husband/photographer Scott Funk, she has Gallery 160 in Richmond.  Her photocards and framed and matted works are sold there and in shops in Vermont, New York and Maine.
