Kelly Percodani of Sea Kissed Arts
I’m a South Jersey artist, single mom, and the creator behind Sea Kissed Arts. Born and raised in South Jersey, and aside from six years away, this has always been home. My work is deeply inspired by the shore, local history, nostalgia, and the memories connected to the places we know and love.
The shore has always held a special place in my heart. Old photographs, familiar landmarks, historic moments, and the stories behind them inspire me to create pieces that capture not only a place, but the feeling and memories associated with it.
My art also comes from a deeply personal place. After going through breast cancer, creating became even more meaningful to me. Art gave me a way to rebuild, express myself, and transform difficult chapters of my life into something beautiful. Like a phoenix rising again, Sea Kissed Arts represents resilience, new beginnings, and finding beauty after hardship.
I specialize in pyrography and wood-burned art, often beginning with an old photograph, treasured memory, or piece of local history and transforming it into a one-of-a-kind, handmade work of art.
