Artist’s Biography

Kellie Weeks received a BFA from Bradford College in 2001. After years of exploring many media she is now focused on painting with pigment sticks, oils, and cold wax. She also uses other mixed media as vehicles to develop a wide lexicon of imagery. Kellie often abstracts elements of nature from her immediate surroundings combining both elements of bold and muted colors. Of late, evolving compositions resemble floral still life’s. These dynamic compositions lend themselves to stories of relationships and transformations. Kellie’s work has been exhibited nationally in many juried and group shows, and is included in both private and public collections. She works diligently day to day in the studio trying to capture what Mark Rothko called the “anecdote of the spirit “.

Artist’s Statement

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “The Earth laughs in flowers.” Using pigment sticks, oils, and cold wax as vehicles to communicate abstracted floral compositions, my paintings are intuitively created using color, line, and form as constructs for fantastical floral landscapes. At times the imagery is more subtle than others yet all of the elements speak of journeys, relationships, and transformations. With some elements almost creating a veil as to what may be latent beyond it, a mystery is birthed right before us. As we continually readjust what it means to be in the here and now, it is my hope that this work can offer the conduit between one’s awareness and a heartfelt smile with flowers.
