Hi, I’m Kelly Medford, an American living and working as a plein air painter in Italy since 2005. I have been painting and sketching out on the streets of Italy daily as my way of getting to know the country, its people, history, culture, and sights as well as enjoy my love of painting and drawing. Artists and non-artists alike have been keeping sketchbook journals of their travels through Italy and Europe for centuries, and I am honored and excited to continue this long-standing tradition. That is why in 2012 I started Sketching Rome Tours as a way to offer this experience to everyone.
