New KP Logo!


We would like to thank Liz Nelson of Liz Nelson designs for her wonderful work creating our new logo. Below is a bit about her. She donated her services to us and for that we are very grateful.




I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2006 with a double Bachelor’s degree in painting and illustration. I currently work out of and show paintings in my studio at the Harrison Center for the Arts located in downtown Indianapolis. Acrylic and pen are my primary medium and I often use a combination of both free form painting as well as my training in illustration. I also dabble in logo design and mixed media. Much of my inspiration comes from poetry and literature.
By day I am a bookseller at a used bookstore, which feeds my literary cravings as well as my love of film and helps support my artistic endeavors. I will soon be celebrating my four year wedding anniversary to my high-school sweetheart; we are expecting our first child in April and are currently living in Zionsville, IN. Creativity is an important and vital part of my life and I enjoy the opportunity to share that with others. Two of my nephews were adopted from Kazakhstan making this particular project something that was near and dear to my heart.
