Contemporary Paintings Inspired by the American West

Kelly Peters paints the American West the way it actually feels - not a postcard, not a photograph. Her layered oil and acrylic landscapes are collected by private families, interior designers, and brands including Lululemon and Arhaus.

About Kelly

I grew up in Michigan dreaming about mountains, then moved to Aspen for what was supposed to be one ski season and never left.

More than a decade later, my work is still rooted in the landscapes, open spaces and feeling of the American West. I use color, texture and layers to turn familiar places into something more personal, less about painting exactly what I see and more about capturing what it feels like to be there.
