Our Team

Art is Good and the Puzzle Project are the creation of Tim Kelly, artist, Puzzle Project coordinator and co-founder. Tim was born an artist and lives, works and makes art in Brooklyn, NYC. Art is Good and the Puzzle Project are the embodiment of Tim's beliefs about art and life. He truly believes that everyone can make art and not have to consider themselves an “artist”.

The Puzzle Project was created to help people easily create something meaningful. It is best described as an expression project, not an art project. The true measure of success being that thousands of people from all walks of life have made art they are proud of and inspired many to continue creating art. Art is good for you.

Miss Gabi is the happiest when she is teaching ART! A graduate of Saint Vincent College and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, she is an artist, art teacher, graphic designer. She is the former Director of Latrobe Art Center leaving in 2017 to open her new passion project Miss Gabi's Art Is Good Studio, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Miss Gabi loves bringing out the creativity in individuals of all ages. She especially loves working with children and adults with special needs. Her favorite part of the art process is the when the students discover their voice!! “There’s that moment when their eyes light up, pride and confidence sets in, and they realize what they have just created!! They stare at it, smile and say ‘LOOK MISS GABI! I DID IT!!’ It makes my heart do leaps and bounds because in that moment we have made them see that THEY CAN DO IT and that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!”

Like most things in art and life, it is better shared. The team of artists that bring the Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project to kids, teens and adults are some of the finest artists and people on this beautiful planet.
