Kelly Grzasko is #MadeForKnoxville.

She holds many titles–photographer, videographer, whittler, painter… and now, stained glass artist! Kelly loves to create and she’s not afraid to try new things. 

Kelly is on a journey to explore all that the world has to offer. She often feeds her curiosity through creating and experimenting with different art forms. Early in her career, she built credibility as a talented camera woman, landing jobs as a freelancer with local production teams. In her role as videographer, she was able to participate in the making of true crime TV shows and baking competition shows. Outside of these projects, Kelly has worked to become a well-rounded artist who travels and works with a variety of media. She loves to implement elements of nature in her work, such as wood or natural light. These days, she is experimenting with stained glass, and you can catch her selling work at local maker markets in Knoxville!

In Their Own Words…

I’m a multi-talented artist, working in a variety of mediums. I have a background and training in fine arts. I paint in oils, acrylics, and watercolor. I work in photography and videography as a freelancer. I make small scale wood carvings and most recently, my focus and passion is in stained glass.

A few months ago I decided that I wanted to start selling my art, something I’ve always dreamed of doing, so I applied for my first juried market and I got in! I not only got in, but I did very well, and I think perhaps it was that day that I realized that people do like my work and are willing to invest in the art that I make.

I have learned that people are investing in YOU as much as they are investing in what you provide for them.
