Artist Statement
My name is Katelyn Kelso and I have been making art for almost seven years now. My work is a balance between concept development/character design, and realistic illustration. The concept art serves as an escape into a fictional and exciting reality, while the realistic illustration remains an anchor into real-life experiences and feelings. As an artist, I've always been deeply interested in existential expressions through interesting composition and realism, but I find simple graphic characters and fictional personalities give a joy that few illustrations can.
Art has always been an extremely unique and reliable way of expressing my feelings and experiences, especially ones that are difficult to put into words. I hope my work will serve to both connect with people's deep emotions and bring them joy with light-hearted design. |
