Kelsey Anne Heimerman is classical trained visionary oil painter and graphic designer. Her unique gift to portray visual language has been nurtured and guided by a family of artists since she was 5 years old. She approaches painting as a primary form of thinking with limitless possibilities which consistently produces her innovative work. Her medium is painting and drawing however she has successfully created projects including large scale public murals, media content creation, social media marketing direction, book illustrations, fine art event curating. and a multitude of graphic design. Her skills are not limited to the direction of her medium as a modern day female artist she strives to always push the boundary, using the best medium for the project.
Her unique imgery and style is derived from the observance of people through art history, dogmas, belief systems and culture driven metrics. These mythologies and systems are met with a modern technological twist that create a hybrid from of ancient patterns and mysticism with a contemporary twist. Her early self made success is contributed to her entrepreneurial spirit and ability to imbue her monumental art with a futuristic way of thinking and elaborate imaginative skills.
She operates both inside and outside of the art world, consistently exhibiting in international gallery and museum exhibitions as well as retaining her independently ran studio/ gallery that pushes the boundaries of connecting art and people in new and innovative ways.
