ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Growing up along the Texas Gulf Coast, Kelly Best Bourgeois developed a profound and lifelong love of nature. As a teen, she painted seriously and sold many of her works, but pursued a more academic path in college, then a professional career as a physician, specializing in Anesthesiology. Kelly kept her hand in art while practicing medicine and raising her family by taking classes at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts Glasell School of Art and the Art League of Houston. In more recent years, she has also studied in workshops in Roundtop, TX, New Orleans, LA, Scottsdale, AZ, Monhegan Is., ME, and the Provence region of France. She particularly enjoys painting en plein air with oil paint or gouache and using those works as inspiration for her studio paintings. Kelly retired from medicine in 2020 to focus more on her passion for art. In 2021 she had her first solo exhibition, Deep in the Heart, featuring Texas landscapes based on paintings from her travels across Texas during the pandemic and shown in the Kucera Gallery at the Art Center of Corpus Christi. In 2022, through the generous support of the Joe Barnhart Foundation, the Beeville Art Museum hosted her exhibition Lone Star Gifts, and in 2023 Kelly’s works were featured as part of the Houston Arts District Sawyer Yards’ landscape exhibition The Loud Quiet. In 2024 she was featured in the two artists Houston Exhibition titled Oceans: Echoes of Existence, also in Sawyer Yards. Her painting Radiant Cadence was recently selected for the Artist Loan Program of the Houston Airport system, rated by Skytrax as #1 in the world for airport art. Best Bourgeois’ artwork is in private collections across the U.S. and as far away as the UK and Warsaw, Poland. She enjoys teaching workshops and welcomes commissions and visitors to her Sabine Street Studio #116 in the Houston Arts District.
