elly Clark designed wallpaper and textiles for twenty years as her first post graduate career. Marrying at 35, Kelly started a family and took what she thought would be a bit of a hiatus from the fast paced corporate design world. A passionate collector of all things needlepoint, (new, vintage, or antique) Kelly found herself doing custom painting and finishing. In June of 2005 Kelly Clark Needlepoint was launched. Known for her elegant, nostalgic Santas and Christmas canvases, Kelly’s pleasing color palettes and simple whimsy have given her line a very recognizable look. Turning her hobby and passion into a business, Kelly considers needlepoint her home. She lives with her husband, three children and Mikey the cat in Northeast Ohio.
