“Vivid Images that depict the wonder and beauty of West Kerry, artist Kelly Hood’s paintings are in demand. An invitation received only this week from Art selectors in the US has the artist's head in a spin. World wide interest in the artist's work came to a high earlier this year when the she was informed that she was selected in a global search by Seattle’s Irish Heritage Club”. The Dingle News
