Kelley Cintra Studio is a dynamic, full-service creative design studio specializing in custom watercolor illustrations.
My artistic journey began at the University of Delaware, where I studied Fine Art with a focus on photography and mixed media painting (Go Blue Hens!). My passion for watercolor emerged while living in a small New York City apartment, where the medium offered both space and creative freedom. What started as a hobby creating art for friends and family blossomed into Kelley Cintra Studio during the COVID pandemic. Inspired by the closures of beloved local restaurants, I launched a series of original paintings and prints to commemorate them.
As my work gained recognition through word of mouth and social media, the studio expanded into a full-service design business offering custom event and wedding design, brand illustration, live painting experiences, and licensing.
I thrive on collaborating with clients to bring their unique visions to life, crafting personalized pieces they’ll cherish. My work spans brand partnerships, hospitality, and custom commissions, with past collaborations including the NHL, Framebridge, and a range of lifestyle and hospitality brands.
After spending over a decade in New York City, I now call Boston home with my husband, son, and Bernedoodle.
I am currently expanding my lifestyle and stationery product line—stay tuned!
