Kelly is an award-winning illustrator that has always been fascinated by both art and science. Following her graduation in 2017 with a medical degree from Imperial College London, she worked as a junior doctor for two years in various specialties, ranging from Emergency Medicine to Geriatric Psychiatry. Experience with diverse patients made her realize the importance of effective medical communication, and she began to seek a career path where she could maximize not only patients’, but general public’s understanding of medicine. In 2022, Kelly graduated from the Medical and Biological Illustration masters program at Johns Hopkins University, having won a number of scholarships.
Kelly strives to combine her artistic talents and skills with her medical background to translate the complex world of science and medicine into simple, beautiful and compelling images.
