BACK AND DEAD // JUNIOR SPACE GROUP SHOW

One of the longest debates in the art world surrounds itself around whether or not "Painting is Dead" - infamously spoken by Paul Delaroche in 1839 upon seeing the Daguerreotype for the first time. After centuries of debate, Back and Dead doesn't seek to claim painting as dead or alive. Back and Dead instead provides insight into contemporary painting in Melbourne in 2017 and asks audiences to make up their own mind about the state of the medium. Featuring work from Ajay Jenn

COLLABORATION // T'GALLANT WINES

I'm so happy to finally be able to share this collaboration with you. I recently teamed up with local Mornington Peninsula wine producers, T'Gallant, to bring their latest wines to life! I was lucky enough to paint four pieces to adorn their new range, which includes a Moscato, Pinto Grigio, Temperanillo / Shiraz red blend, and a Rose. I'm thrilled with how theses turned out, and .... the wine tastes pretty damn good too! #sarahkelkpainter #sarahkelkpaintings #tgallant #wine

I'm proud to share with you that I have a couple of pieces in the first ever Modern Times group show, 'Home'. Filled with some amazing work from over 20 contemporary Australian artists, 'Home' opens on October 27th (and runs until November 10th) and explores the notion of home, and what it means to each artist.

FEATURED IN FRANKIE MAGAZINE // + PULL OUT POSTER

The idea that my work would one day be in Frankie Magazine blows my mind!! Ive been reading Frankie since way back in the mid 2000s and have used my fair share of pull out posters to decorate my walls. Soooo ..... you can imagine how humbled I am to not only have a double page spread in a feature on abstract art in their latest issue, but ...... my work also features on their pull out poster too! I cannot even tell you how chuffed I am. Grab a copy of issue 67 now and you can

TDF COLLECT // CHARITY EXHIBITION UPDATE

It was a total pleasure to be part of The Design Files first fundraiser exhibition which opened last Saturday (25th July). All the proceeds from sales of this show are in support of the very worthy case, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, a much needed life line service for refugees and asylum seekers. Kon from the ASRC gave an extremely moving speech (and made more than one person shed a few tears). And its amazing to think that nearly $50,000 has been raised for the ASRC fr
