Hi! My name is Kellie Bellah and I am super excited to be working here at the OJAC as the Administrative Assistant and Visitor Services Associate. I look forward to getting to know everyone on the team and in the community.
A little bit about myself: I grew up in Abilene Texas and studied Art and Graphic design at Hardin Simmons University in 2014. I loved studying Art so much that in 2015 I went to TSTC in Abilene to study Digital Arts and yes, it’s different than graphic design, and I loved it even more! I’ve always had a passion for the Arts including music, theater and sewing. Growing up I liked to enter art competitions and even won a few, and some of my pieces are featured in museums in Texas.
After graduating college I worked at various places trying to find my place in the art world, including Painting with a Twist, the Paramount Theater, and David’s Bridal as an Alterations Specialist in Abilene. After that I worked as an Art teacher for 3 years in Throckmorton Texas. I enjoyed, loved and am thankful for all the experiences and everything I learned, and learned that I love sharing art and my experiences with art with others.
Currently I live in Throckmorton Texas with my husband of 3 years Kolton Bellah, and our lovely dog Tiramisu. In my spare time I like to sew and occasionally enter competitions with my work. I try not to be too competitive, but that’s what makes it fun!
I look forward to my time here at the OJAC!
