After spending her young adulthood working as a social activist, Ms. Kelleher followed her heart to become a Private Investigator. She works on cold-case files, revisiting crime scenes and witnesses to gain new evidence for prisoners, and has worked to help get two innocent men off of death row. It was only after reading a biography of James Baldwin, while holed up in her New Orleans home during a hurricane, that something popped: she began to make visual art. Her work in this exhibit expressed her desire to communicate, serving as a "witness" to inmates and other marginalized people, and making their stories tangible on brightly colored paintings and constructions.
