Kelly Kruger
Artist & Designer | Jersey City, NJ
Kelly is a self-taught artist whose career in commercial art began in 2022, working as an in-house artist for a home décor manufacturer. There, she developed a diverse portfolio of original artwork and a strong understanding of commercial art and design.
Working primarily in acrylic, watercolor, and gouache, her practice combines traditional artistic techniques with a loose, expressive, and exploratory approach to image-making. Her work draws inspiration from art history, nostalgia, nature, and contemporary design, spanning decorative collections, commissioned projects, and personal artistic exploration.
Today, Kelly maintains an independent practice encompassing original artwork, commercial design, and art licensing, while continuing to explore the expressive possibilities of handmade art.
