Kelly Falzone Inouye (b. 1975 Woodland, CA) explores collective memory and popular culture through painting. In her work, fragments of media are revised and re-envisioned, guided by ideas of cultural critique and personal reflection.
Kelly has presented solo exhibitions at venues including Marrow Gallery in San Francisco, SPRING/BREAK Art Show LA in Culver City, and Interface Gallery in Oakland. She has been awarded public art projects by the San Francisco Arts Commission and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Her work has been featured in publications including The San Francisco Chronicle, KQED Arts, and New American Paintings.
Kelly also founded and ran Irving Street Projects, a San Francisco-based residency program that provided project development and exhibition opportunities to fellow Bay Area artists from 2015-2020.
She is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute (MFA 2008) and UC San Diego (BA 1998). She lives and works in San Francisco with her family and tiny dog.
