Euri Kelley

Elgin, SC

My name is Euri Kelley, and I am currently a high school senior enrolled at Spring Valley High School. As the daughter of two proud immigrants, I was raised with both culturally Korean and American values. I am incredibly honored by my heritage. During the exploration period of my art process, I conducted lots of research in order to understand the nuances of the traditional culture and popular culture. I talked to many of the elderly and the youth in my community, and we spoke of the trends that have passed us by. Doing this research gave me an opportunity to not only give back to my neighbors but also to create something truly remarkable. I specialize in printmaking and traditional eastern inking.
