Featuring: Kelly Coffin
Kelly Wilkinson Coffin is a native Virginian and
graduate of the University of Virginia (Col ‘88).
She returned to Charlottesville, VA to open her own
studio after completing three years of full time
study at the Ingbretson Studio of Drawing and
Painting, an atelier in the tradition of the Boston
School, which combines the drawing and discipline
of the Academies of 19th Century Paris with the
color and light effects of the impressionists.
Additionally, she completed a semester studying
portraiture and figure painting at the Charles Cecil
studio in Florence, Italy. Prior to pursuing painting
full time she served on Active Duty as a Naval
Aviator for 10 years and later flew as a First
Officer with US Airways while continuing to serve in
the Naval Reserve.
Kelly is married to Tad Coffin and lives on a farm
with her family in Ruckersville, Va.
“I hope to celebrate all that I love about nature
and my fellow beings through my painting. I am
most taken with the painters of the Boston School
Tradition and am very grateful for the painting
education I received along those lines. Not a day
goes by that I am not mindful of my instructor Paul
Ingbretson's advice "to paint what one is
passionate about."
