Kelley Cintra Studio, is a dynamic, full-service creative design studio, specializing in custom watercolor illustrations for brands, stationery, events, textiles, gifting, and art licensing.
Kelley’s artistic journey began at the University of Delaware, where she studied Fine Art with a focus on photography and mixed media painting (Go Blue Hens!). Her passion for watercolor emerged while living in a small New York 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 local restaurants, Kelley launched a series of original paintings and prints to commemorate them. As her 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, textiles, and licensing.
Kelley thrives on collaborating with clients to bring their unique visions to life, crafting personalized creations they’ll cherish.
After spending over a decade in New York City, Kelley now calls Boston home with her husband, son, and bernedoodle. Outside of work, she enjoys interior decorating, travel, and spending quality time with her family.
