Kelly O’Connor was born in 1982 and is from San Antonio TX. Her most recent solo exhibition was here in Austin TX at the Women and Their Work Gallery in 2013. A majority of her work is about popular culture. O’Connor states that what she creates is based on pop culture, fantasy, memory and mythological stories and characters. A quote from O’Connor’s statement is “. My work is, to a great extent, about exposing the duality behind thin public façades that we readily embrace.” All of those elements are apparent in her installation work as well, they are very whimsical.
