<p>The detail in Kelli&#8217;s work is immaculate. In <em>The Eyes Have It</em>, it&#8217;s as though we&#8217;re transformed into flies, edging along the muzzle until we find ourselves cornea to cornea with the huge, graceful creature. Kelli has spent a lifetime perfecting her renderings and the energy they convey. The life that stems for Kelli&#8217;s drawings is undeniable.</p>
