Hello from Eugene and Piera Kelley. We live in Sautee-Nacoochee, in the North Georgia Mountains.

ABOUT EUGENE

Eugene was born in Sarasota, Florida, and has lived in various areas of Florida and Georgia. His interest in nature photography was started by his passion for birding. For more than ten years, while working in the computer industry, he took advantage on any chance he got to go into the field, and birdwatch. His desire to capture their beauty led him to photography. After moving to the Georgia mountains, he decided to become a full time photographer. Here he was dazzled by the variety of wildflowers and butterflies, and decided to add them to the list of his interests. Lighthouses have been a passion for several years as well.

  ABOUT PIERA

Piera Kelley was born in Milan, Italy. She has lived in the US for most of her adult life. She started painting in oils about six years ago, while working in the computer industry. An avid birder, just like Eugene, Piera sought to paint birds. She started with the beautiful designs of Sherry Nelson, then continued her work under the tutelage of noted oil painter Barbara Dickerson, of Atlanta. She also takes classes at the Sautee-Nacoochee Art Center, under the direction of artist Dianne Mize. At the same time as Eugene, she decided to dedicate her full time to art. More recently, she discovered the medium of scratchboard, and plans to continue to pursue it. The subjects of her artwork are birds, animals, and occasionally other subjects.
Her gallery is under construction, so check back soon to see her work!
