Kelly Puissegur was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and studied art at Louisiana State University.
She moved to the west coast of America in 2006 and continues to live and work there. Her work is inspired by pop culture.

"My paintings are little appreciations for found objects, plants, animals, people who inspire me, family, music, shapes, textures, and what ever else pops into my head. I change mediums frequently using handmade paper, india ink, anything textured, square wooden panels, old skateboards, surfboards etc and my work generally maintains a childlike, playful quality. My goal is to make art that people can appreciate or relate to."
