About the Author

Carrie Kelley is an author and artist from the United States. Her interest in all things creative goes back as far as she can remember. From her earliest years, she loved every type of art she tried and took classes in everything from sketching and painting to comic book drawing and pottery. By the time she was ten years old, she’d won numerous local and national art competitions. While pursuing her B.A. in Communications, she took art classes at the University of Miami in Florida and Cleveland Institute of Art. After graduation, she completed a graphic design certification program.

Several years ago, she discovered acrylic pour painting and became fascinated with this unique and expressive style of art. Using her decades of traditional acrylic painting experience and lots of trial and error, she taught herself the ins and outs of creating colorful paintings using fluid art techniques. In 2018, she began writing online articles and tutorials about pour painting to share her knowledge and passion for this topic with others. Acrylic Pour Painting: A Beginner’s Guide with Instructions, Ideas, and Tips for Creating Unique Abstract Paintings is her first book.
