Bio
Kelle R. O'Dahl (KRO) was born in Janesville, Wisconsin. She graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) in 1995 with a Bachelors of Arts degree. She moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 2001. Kelle has worked in all mediums, focusing mostly on oil chalk and oil paint, water colors, and most recently experimental paper-mache molds and furniture restoration art. The themes of her work is what she describes as "My Life on Paper"—a naked path from the pain of abandonment as a child to growing towards balance, love, and strength. She describes the distortion of the women figures in her art not as a method of abstraction, but rather to show the emotional journey of all women, from the inside out—especially those who have been objectified and unduly judged.
