About

Hi, I’m Galen Kelly Adolph, a passionate studio arts major with a minor in music at Reed College. I’ve been a freelance painter since 2018, working closely with clients to create commissioned pieces. I also have experience teaching art and music to children and adults, which I find incredibly rewarding. My studio work ranges from printmaking and bookbinding to large-scale murals, where I enjoy both collaborative and independent creative efforts.

I’m comfortable handling various painting materials, tools, and industrial equipment, and I pay close attention to detail in all my projects. Aside from my art practice, I have taken on roles like sports center receptionist and catering staff, gaining organizational and people skills. I’m bilingual in Spanish and always open to new creative challenges and collaborative projects.
