Kelli Bannert

Kelli Bannert is an artist who focuses on realistic portrayals of animals in her line art and illustrations.

She is still new to the art world, and currently only has one book published that was published in May of 2016. Service Dogs, a coloring book.

She chose this book due to her own experiences with service dogs and their handlers, and wanted to create a way to give back to the supportive community she is a part of. She wants her future books to also include some form of education, while intermixed with visually appealing and calming illustrations.

Kelli has several other coloring books in progress, and is also looking into collaborating with her brother and sister in law in creating some children's books.

In addition to her artwork, Kelli can usually be found cooking or learning new recipes, weaving, knitting, sewing, or training dogs for herself and others.
