Kelly Allen “Everything is Everything” This Friday

Recently transplanted from Grand Rapids (Michigan) to San Francisco, painter Kelly Allen has developed her own unique style. Kelly’s paintings are SO fine detailed and photo-realistic that they are commonly confused for collages, when in fact they are all painted by hand. Please join us to celebrate Kelly Allen & her work Friday March 19th at Meds.

“Life is amazing, mysterious, and rich with beauty and knowledge. It is also filled with opportunities to develop wisdom, which, at its deepest level, provides peace of mind and spirit. My work is here for you to awaken your imagination, spark your curiosity, and find connections between creatures and forms. Here you can be released from the constraints of time and obligation. Invent your own connections, or just look closely.” – Kelly Allen
