Hi, my name is Kelsey! I am a visual artist that works primarily in charcoal. I create deeply symbolic imagery that blends elements of the natural world with introspective, psychological narratives. My work often carries a dark aesthetic that is balanced by themes of growth and resilience.
Each piece is rooted in personal experience and emotional processing, representing a stage in the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
Come see my studio in the “dungeon” of the Kellogg Building (929 Water St).
Screaming on the Inside
"Screaming on the Inside" captures the ethereal essence of concealed emotion through a figure veiled in darkness. This piece explores the profound depths of human experience, revealing the buried sadness and desires that reside beneath the surface.
Vision of Time and Space
"Vision of Time and Space" is an oil pastel piece that merges cosmic and human elements, depicting an eye transforming into a nebula. It challenges viewers to examine their perception of time while contemplating the grand aspirations that define us.
Guardians of the Threshold
This image depicts dual contrasting snakes symbolizing the duality of existence—light and dark, self and shadow, internal and external equilibrium. These serpentine figures coil protectively around the key to fulfillment and transformation.
