Abstract
Kelly Gillum was born in Burnet, Texas. Her parents, Lamar and Jackie were missionaries who traveled overseas to Japan, married and eventually settled in Austin, Texas. At 8, she tragically lost in father in a car crash. Her mother, Jackie, a talented pastel artist was left with six children ranging from toddlers to teens. Although her family was financially challenged her mother managed at times to buy paper and pastels producing beautiful works of art. This impressed upon Kelly at a young age the importance and utter necessity of art regardless of life‘s circumstances. The loss of her father deeply saddened her mother and Kelly would often watch her mother draw as a healing escape. Kelly’s gene pool was rich in creativity and visiting her grandmother in San Antonio was an exceptional treat. Vivian, a nurse by day and in Kelly’s mind - magician by night used her imagination, creative genius seeming to effortlessly create art out of thin air using textiles, flowers and jewelry....
