Maria Helena Brenner-Kelly

Greetings from Brazil!

I am Maria Helena Brenner-Kelly, a born artist, although it took me a few decades to realize it.

A few years ago, I left behind a career as a marketing executive, moved to paradise, and embraced my artistic side full-time, focusing on silk painting. I have participated in several trade-shows, classes and workshops, both in Brazil and the US, and one of my works has been shown in the Visual Arts Center at the Washington Pavilion, South Dakota. I have also sold pieces in the USA, Brazil and Europe.

Dharma Trading plays a big part in every piece I make. I use Dharma's silk, both by yard and through scarves. I love the china silk because of great cost/benefit, and also splurge on crepe de chine and silk/wool blends. I also use the dyes, the water based resists, and the tools (love the Chinese hooks and the tjantings).

Thanks,
Maria
