My name is Kelly Bonato, and I am somewhere in my 60s, with a loving husband and two remarkable adult children.

My journey into editing, colouring, and sharing photographs began when I rediscovered family pictures from the 1870s after being stored in my garage for three decades. Self-taught in picture editing, I shared the restored images with my extended family, unveiling the colourful tapestry of the Knight family history. This revelation transformed my perception, providing a sense of pride and connection to South Australia's story.

Passionate about history, I delve into the stories of South Australia, using colourisation to set my imagination free and visualise the past.
