So Can I
The So Can I podcast is a place that inspires, motivates, and encourages women to step out in faith, follow the dreams that have always been on their hearts, and have a little fun while doing it. Each week, Lauren will talk with different women who do the unexpected and think outside of the box. We cover it all: the good, the bad, the beginning, the how, the why, and most importantly, the journey. You will leave each episode thinking, “If she can do it, So Can I."

Building a Commission-Based Art Business with Kelly Pelfrey

Today I am joined by Kelly Pelfrey! Kelly is a contemporary impressionist painter known for her expressive brushwork, love of light and shadow, and ability to capture the beauty of everyday moments. Her paintings often feature people in natural, unposed settings—scenes that feel more like memories than formal portraits. Whether she’s painting a quiet coastal landscape, a sunlit floral, or a nostalgic moment between loved ones, her work is rooted in warmth, movement, and a strong sense of place.
In addition to her studio work, Kelly is the host of Behind the Brush, a weekly podcast where she shares honest conversations and practical insight for artists building a full-time career. She is also the co-founder of The KP Art Collective, an online gallery connecting collectors with original work from artists across the country.
In this episode Kelly and I talk about her journey to becoming a full time artist, her podcast & collective, why she is mainly commission-based, and so much more!
