Meet the artist behind Kalli Creates.

About Kalli

Kalli Tauriello has always been drawn to creativity, with a deep love for nature, animals, and hands-on work. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, explore new ideas, and follow her imagination wherever it leads. At times, her imagination moves faster than her ability to bring it to life—but that’s part of the process, and part of what makes creating meaningful.

She enjoys all forms of art and is still discovering her style, her flow, and what inspires her most. This site is a place for that journey to unfold—piece by piece.

Kalli also values mental well-being and understands the importance of taking care of her mindset. Like many creative people, she continues to grow in confidence while learning to trust her work and her voice. Creativity, for her, is not just about making something—it’s also a way to process, reflect, and stay grounded.

Kalli comes from a long line of artists. Her great-grandfather, Mike Tauriello, was known for his exceptional pencil work and unmatched shading, earning recognition and awards around the world for his pieces. Her great-uncle, Frank Tauriello, is known for his oil paintings, including works like The Flower Girl, that sold hundreds of prints and has an established presence in the art world.

Creativity continues in the family today through her father, Steven Tauriello, founder of Freedom Crate Co., a Florida-based company that builds handcrafted wooden military-style boxes. Through his nonprofit, the Final Salute Project, he also creates and donates custom boxes to retired veterans each month.

Kalli is just beginning her own artistic journey. This space is not about perfection—it’s about growth, expression, and creating something real over time.
