The Lynwood Artists Gallery features paintings by Kelly Gravely Mattox.
Featuring still lifes, landscapes and figurative paintings in oil, her work is an eye-catching kaleidoscope of hues. “My artwork is an extension of my personality,” says Mattox. "My representational to abstract work has a common theme: lots of energy, exuberant high color, plus an intensity acquired by bold brush strokes. The manipulation and harmony of these components is what intrigues me. ”
Her work has been shown across the country and was exhibited at Piedmont Arts' Historic Little Post Office in 2015. She has won numerous awards in "Expressions," the annual open-entry exhibition presented by Lynwood Artists and Piedmont Arts, including Best in Show in 2015 and Best Lynwood Artist in 2025. She holds a BFA in commercial art with a minor in art history from Virginia Commonwealth University. She grew up in Martinsville, Virginia, and now lives in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The Lynwood Artists Gallery is curated by Lynwood Artists, an organization for practicing artists in the Martinsville-Henry County area. Its members share a desire to stimulate understanding and enjoyment of fine art and the artistic process, while providing area artists with opportunities to exhibit and further develop their talents.
