Hi, my name is Kelsey! My work explores the intersection of intuition, emotions, and the natural world. Through charcoal and other mediums, I translate internal landscapes into visual form- often using human and organic elements such as birds and trees to symbolize transformation, duality, and self-discovery. Each piece begins with a strong emotional impulse and evolves through an instinctive process, allowing meaning to emerge through texture, light, and form. My practice is rooted in personal experience, yet seeks to evoke universal themes of growth, struggle, and awakening.
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.
