Kellie Talbot‘s work revolves around the landscape of American artifacts, craftsmanship and history. Signs and typography, architecture, cemeteries and other emblems of society are the inspirations for her oil paintings. In her upcoming show at Bherd Studios Talbot continues her focus on the man made environment, exalting infrastructure and built objects that outlast the temporary individual.

Kellie Talbot was born in Hawaii and as a daughter of a career marine lived on both coasts growing up.
Her first jobs, in a print shop and as a sign painter, developed her love of typography and design.
Kellie moved to Seattle in 1989 and finished school at Seattle Central Community College. After graduation, she worked as the graphic designer for Cornish College of the Arts.
Since 1993 Kellie has worked extensively as an illustrator and designer for the snowboard industry in addition to being the Art Director for Signal Snowboards since its inception in 2003.
Currently she is represented by Bherd Studios in Seattle and SMASH Modern Art in Vancouver, BC.

Kellie lives in Ballard with her husband, a cat and a duck.
