Grow Your Oakland, 02-2010: “Kelly Correll Brown's work mixes textures, media and tone to tell stories at the intersection of imagination and reality. Layers of possibility quietly unfold in what first feels like a pleasing construction of the familiar--there is accessible room to explore that interplay of consciousness and projection.” (To read the full review go to www.growyouroakland.com)

Wipster, 08-2010: " Many of Kel's images are very much like fairytale illustrations, but with an edge. Bicycle is one of Kel's mixed media images. She has used scraps of ribbon to embellish this painting of a penny-farthing. The Robotic Arm of Childhood Fun is possibly the most whimsical of Kel's images. Made from collaged fabric and envelopes, this image is fun but also slightly disturbing. While the images are fantastic on their own, if you can see them en masse it is worth it. The simplistic illustrative style of her work really leaps out at you… I urge you to give her a visit because I only have space to show you a few of her works and the choice was so hard!"
