Kelly Cannell has been immersed in art from a young age, working alongside her mother, renowned artist, Susan Point. Starting at just 12, she learned the traditional and contemporary imagery of the Musqueam people, mastering the art of storytelling through her work. Kelly continuously explores and pushes the boundaries of Coast Salish and Musqueam art, blending traditional forms with non-traditional materials and scales.
Her unique pieces are highly sought after, featured in private, corporate, and public collections around the world, including across Metro Vancouver. Beyond her artistic achievements, Kelly is deeply committed to philanthropy, generously donating her time and artwork to support environmental and other causes. With a passion for environmental awareness and the connection between all life forms, she uses Coast Salish visual language to honour her ancestors’ teachings and inspire future generations.
