Kelli Glancey is an artist, commercial illustrator and educator at Parsons School of Design in NYC. She has been living in Hoboken since 1985.

Earlier this year, she was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from Mid Atlantic Arts / NJ State Council on the Arts for the work exhibited at the Hoboken Historical Museum in 2019.
She has family roots on her maternal side in Hoboken that date back to the early 20C – WW1. “My great uncles and great grandfather all served in the military and embarked from Hoboken to France in WW1. My great grandfather, great grandmother and 2 children (my grandmother on my mother’s side) lived at 153 Washington Street (building that is today the Brass Rail restaurant). He unfortunately fell ill from a gas attack during the war and died after returning from France at age 26.”
Kelli’s works have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the east coast of the United States as well as internationally in Japan and Europe. Her drawing, printmaking and expertise in color have led her to work in various market places. She has illustrated works for magazine editorials, book publishing, textile designs and home furnishings. Clients include Hallmark, Martha Stewart Living, Polo Ralph Lauren Home, and Nautica. She has exhibited works at the Hoboken Historical Museum, Field Colony Gallery, Rexer Gallery, Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, John Szoke Gallery, Gold Coast Arts Center, The Art Students League, The Hudson Guild, The Fisher Gallery at Horace Mann, Massachusetts Collage of Art and Design as well as showing internationally in Japan, Spain, England, France and Italy. Throughout her global travels and cultural adventures, she explores mixed mediums in her sketchbooks and later transforms chosen images into works on paper and limited edition prints. Printmaking techniques in her work include silkscreen, relief, intaglio etching, and lithography. As an educator, she teaches Color Theory, Printmaking and Drawing and has also lived and worked in France. She resides in the mile square city of Hoboken, NJ and for part of each year once again is grateful to call Paris, France her home away from home.
