Tori Kelley
Dr. Tori Kelley is a multidisciplinary visual artist working at the intersection of art, psychology, and healing. Her expressive practice—rooted in pastels, mixed media, and photography—explores trauma, resilience, and women’s lived
experiences through a lens shaped by survival and the #MeToo movement. Holding a PhD in Counseling and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts, Kelley integrates neuroscience and neuroplasticity into both her creative and clinical
work, emphasizing art as a catalyst for emotional healing and connection. She began her artistic journey in 2017, discovering artmaking as a powerful complement to traditional therapy. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally,
including the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, where she received the Gold Award for Excellence at the 24th Japan International Art Exchange Exhibition. Additional exhibitions include the Modern Art Museum of Yerevan and the Sasse
Museum, reflecting her growing recognition among collectors and institutions.
