About

 

Inspired by fashion and the way color speaks visibly on the surface. I design my own creations, with inspiration from vintage dresses and styles. Using the language of color, pattern, line and composition, each piece brings a unique look. I use my illustrations and elevate them to a painting.  Keeping a Sketchbook of figure drawings have become a hobby of mine and I make an effort to sketch every day.

My process involves creating symmetry in color composition using color theory. I lay down the paint in smooth brushwork covering each part of the surface. The smooth velvety texture of oil paint brings lush color to 

Each painting is an expressing of individuality.  The long dresses, hearts, colors and patterns are all representing loving oneself and your individual style.

Background

As a child, Kelsey's earliest dream was to be an artist. she always had a fascination for figures and portraits, after some success painting portraits after graduating High School, she wanted to learn formal art techniques and skills. A few years later she attended the Mastery program at the Milan Art Institute, where she learned formal training in fine art.

Over the years, she's taken classes and workshops, she considers herself a lifetime student of art with her primary focus being to draw and paint what's authentically her. Kelsey's art represents a woman's unique individuality and the heart of a woman, mother, sister, and friend. She wants her paintings to bring hope and inspire ladies in any stage of life they're in. Kelsey's journey of discovering her artist style and voice is ongoing, she allows room to grow and keep expanding her vision.
