Kelan Carrigan
I must give the great Bob Ross the credit for inspiring me to begin this new hobby of mine. To this day I still enjoy watching his painting show. My wife noticed this and got me a Bob Ross Painting Set for Christmas. It took a couple attempts and this was the result. My first painting...
My name is Kelan Carrigan and I am an artist. It feels weird to say that because I didn’t create my first painting until I was 37 years old. I’ve always enjoyed drawing (pencil sketches mainly) and I took art classes up through high school, but I never pursued it after that. Instead, I joined the U.S. Navy at 18 years old. I served as a Machinist Mate in the nuclear power plant on board the USS Dwight D Eisenhower. After 6 years in the Navy, I decided to stay in the power generation industry and am now an operator at a solar power plant in Nevada.
Now that you’re caught up, you can follow along in my Gallery and watch my YouTube videos if you’d like to see how I paint. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
