Biography

Kellie Hames attained her BFA in printmaking from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2010. Though she specializes in lithography, Hames enjoys exploring all printmaking techniques, which she believes will help her as an educator. A native Minnesotan, she recently spent time studying at the New York Academy of Art in New York City. Her work has been exhibited nationally, most notably at the Plains Art Museum (Fargo, ND), The North Dakota Museum of Art (Grand Forks, ND) and Riverside Gallery at Southeast Missouri State University (Girardeau, MO) among others.

In 2011 Hames was accepted into the Printer Training Program at Tamarind Institute, one of the most notable schools for lithography study in the world, and the only institute in the United States that offers a Master's Certificate in printmaking. Hames is currently studying at Tamarind Institute and residing in Albuquerque, NM.
