•Kele Lyn Volpino was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. She began her creative exploration in the early years of her childhood. She found the arts to be her preferred source of communication. Her love and devotion to the arts have nourished her unbound curiosity and passion throughout this synchronistic journey within the arts. •Her debut in a youth showcase entitled "The Gifted Child" in Chicago won her first prize. •She participated in a cultural art exchange for the Indianapolis Museum of Art which again won the top prize. •Upon graduation she moved to NY to study and work, educating and working with those who were innovating the art world at the time, delving into any form she could dramatics, painting, sculpting, music, mixed media, design and writing poetry which deepened her adoration for philosophy and the related philosophic associations within her work that she later came to define at the time as "Ephemeral Existential Surrealism." •She had her first inclusive performance art/multimedia/interdisciplinary shows "Amongst and Between" and "An Elusive Soliloquy" at the Limelight. Both shows consisted of paintings in varied mediums such as plexiglass, wood and some transferred to gels that were illuminated amongst the metal and stone sculptures with slow-moving effigies floating across the room as they danced in and out of the whispers of poetic verse set to music that somehow felt like it was moving the effigies. It was a harmonious collaboration of expression felt by all the senses, from the light sprinkling of rain drops that were momentarily dispersed to the aromas that would randomly waif through fragrant as fields of lavender, gardenia and jasmine with a hint of freshly cut grass would pass by unexpectedly as was with the feel of the rain droplets. •Soon after her time in NY she returned to Europe to study the master's and to complete her MFA and later her PhD. while attending SACI and RCA. •Her love of writing poetry gave her the opportunity to meet President Bill Clinton in Washington D.C. before being inducted into the Poetry Hall of Fame. •Soon after she was introduced to renowned sculptor Martine Vaugel whom she travelled to study with in Loire Valley, France. •Upon returning she found herself again a hermit, in her studio preparing for the opening of her new multimedia show based on nomadic tribal spirituality and other religious cultures titled "Survival, A Positive Balance" at the Limelight. •She then moved to Venice Beach, California where she lived and worked collaborating with local artists such as Robert Graham and Dennis Hopper who owns several pieces of her work along with many others such as Jack Nicholson and Robin Williams who attended many of her shows and benefits. •She has a deep love of creating works for the awareness of causes that are dear to her such as the environment, humanity, animal rights, children, famine, poverty and bullying as she was severely bullied herself and has offered her skills in art therapy to help children and teens heal and repair by, as she says "keeping what empowers them, recycling the rubbish and keeping their heads up." •She worked with National Geographic spending three months highlighting indigenous tribes in Africa such as The San people (or Saan), also known as Bushmen or Basarwa, the members of various hunter-gatherer people of Southern Africa, whose territories span Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and has travelled back several times since.
