Carlow-based Irish-Mexican artist Jess Kelly.

You know how Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet but has his Superman side hustle by night and no one suspects a thing? Well, there’s a superwoman in Carlow who works part-time in marketing, is raising four children aged 17 to one year and, in her own words, “is running from the sidelines of a football pitch to changing nappies”.

By night she morphs into abstract artist Jess Kelly whose clients include Irish celebrities Una Healy and Amy Huberman, and cast members from The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of Dallas, along with interior designers and private individuals.
