Hi, I'm Kelsey!
I’m a Seattle-based full-time artist and illustrator with a love for animals, storytelling, and all things a little bit whimsical. My background is in education, wildlife conservation, and working with pets, and over time I've found the perfect way to bring all of that together through my art!
My dogs are two of the most important parts of my world, and they inspire me daily. That’s why I love creating custom pet portraits! I don't only draw dogs and cats. I love getting to do portraits of all things furry, fuzzy, or scaley. I've worked with animals of all shapes and sizes at past jobs, from alligators and sea turtles, to giraffes and kinkajous! In addition to my dogs, Rory and Stitch, I also share my home with a few adorable tarantulas!
While one of my main focuses is pet portraits and live event art, I also take on custom commissions of all types, in both traditional and digital mediums. When I'm not working on art, you can find me spending time with my wonderful partner, binge-watching my favorite comfort shows, playing whatever video game has currently piqued my interest, eating lots of snacks, or wishing I was playing Dungeons & Dragons.
