Nadine Kelley Fine Art
Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art
Capturing presence, connection, & spirit.
Skippy, Monterey, CA
I am a pet portrait and wildlife artist creating lifelike, expressive artwork inspired by careful observation and a deep appreciation for animals.
I work primarily in soft pastels, and also create original paintings in watercolor and acrylic, choosing the medium that best brings each subject to life.
Hello, I am Nadine Kelley.
Client Reviews
“Nadine was so thoughtful and detail-oriented in creating a beautiful memorial portrait of Bane. I’m so glad we were able to give this piece to my sister and her family, who absolutely loved receiving such a perfect likeness of Bane. We were all blown away by how Nadine perfectly captured Mr. Bane!”

“I came across one of Nadine’s dog portraits online, and fell in love both with the lifelike images of pets and the clear love and care that was put into every stroke of the brush or soft pastel.”
“ I reached out for a commissioned pastel portrait of my two rescue pitties, Cashew and Green Bean, and Nadine was quick to reply with details. She sent me progress photos-it was like seeing my girls come to life step-by-step, until the portrait was perfectly complete. Not only is she a talented artist, but she is a genuinely lovely person - I can’t recommend her enough to other pet parents!”

“It was like opening up a photograph of my best friend. She captured his gentle spirit so beautifully, it moved me to tears immediately. I highly recommend Nadine for any and all pet portraits! She really brings your pet to life!”
