Paintings from a burning soul
Michael Kiely’s many things but shy isn’t one. The latest in a lifetime of creative expression, Michael’s abstract paintings are a plea to stop waiting for permission to do what’s burning in your soul. Michael’s paintings act as a two-way mirror, reflecting the universe around us and the inner workings of his mind. This exhibition, MY KIDS COULD DO THAT, marks the very first time Michael’s art is available to be viewed and purchased by the public.

Parkinsons, cancer and creativity
The final frontier
Michael Kiely’s always wanted to paint. He taught history, ran through adland as a creative director, founded his own company, played in rock bands and wrote a solo album, saved farmers (and lambs) from drought, and fought climate change with carbon farming. It took Parkinson’s and two bouts of cancer to slow him down and bring him to the canvas.
Now it’s time to share his work with the world.
