Borsheim Arts Studio

Although American artist Kelly Borsheim obtained her degree in English and mathematics, Kelly began her art career in the photographic industry and moved into image preservation in the early 1990s.  As her skills progressed, she began to restore images of daguerreotypes that had degraded so much that critical portions were missing. In 1992 Kelly enrolled in a self-paced art school to learn to create, for instance, a missing hand in a photo. 

Learning to draw led to learning to oil paint, which led to the desire to “push clay around.”  Once Kelly discovered sculpture, she knew she had found her life’s passion.  Now a figurative artist in 2- and 3-dimensions, Kelly prefers to create sculpture in stone and bronze, as well as paint in oils or acrylics.  Michelangelo drew Kelly to Italy the first time in 2004 where she continued learning and building an international audience.  Borsheim artworks are in collections throughout the United States and in Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Serbia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
