Support for Amy Kells’ Family & the Art She Left Behind

Last week, the world lost a brilliant light. Amy Kells, a vibrant artist, daughter, and sister, passed away suddenly at the age of 33. Her unexpected loss has left her family and community heartbroken.

This fundraiser is to support Amy’s mother Catherine and her sisters, Maddie and Cara, as they face the difficult days ahead. Your contributions will help with memorial expenses and offer space for the family to grieve without the immediate weight of financial worry.

Amy carried a bright, unmistakable spark–vibrant, original, and wholly herself. Her creativity ran deep, not just in her art but in the way she moved through the world. She approached life with humor, depth, and a sense of magic, making others feel like they belonged just by being who she was. Her wild, beautiful spirit left a lasting imprint wherever she went, whether teaching, live painting, or simply sharing space with those around her. The legacy she leaves behind is a reminder to live as colorfully and compassionately as she did.

Amy’s family is heartbroken but grateful for the time they shared with her. Please consider donating if you’re able. Every contribution helps to cover memorial expenses, support her family during this difficult time, and preserve Amy’s legacy by framing and caring for her artwork. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page is equally meaningful and appreciated.
