Connor Keatley was born in Jacksonville, FL and spent her childhood along the beautiful St. John’s river.   Growing up in such a setting, she began to create abstract botanicals and landscapes in effervescent color palettes from a very young age. Primarily self taught, her style has evolved through formal and informal training.  However, she has always maintained a deep sense of color and depth, light and dark, form and fragmentation. She continues to focus on abstract botanicals that catch the eye and draw the viewer into a deeper appreciation for the natural.  Connor was named one of Anne Irwin Fine Art's 2015 Emerging Artists and was selected to participate in Quinlan Visual Arts Center's 2015 juried exhibition, "Reflections." Connor is a mother of two boys and lives in Atlanta, GA.
