Kelly Dupre has worked with youth in a variety of positions and age ranges for over 20 years. A few of the jobs she has held are: outdoor educator/naturalist, camp director, science teacher, coach, juvenile probation officer and special education teacher. She also has a passion for art and writing.

In 1998, Kelly took a four-year leave of absence from her special education teaching position to develop her art and writing. During this time, she wrote and illustrated a twenty unit-curriculum called "Arctic Challenge" a multi-subject, multi-level teaching tool that was used with the web site of the International Greenland Expedition. She also did freelance graphics for a variety of businesses, organizations, and individuals, as well as selling cards and larger images to stores and art galleries.

For many years, her dream had been to combine her passions for children, writing, and art in a children's book. That dream has now come true. One of her stories "The Raven's Gift: A True Story from Greenland" was released by Houghton-Mifflin in the fall of 2001. She is both the author and illustrator.
