Kelsea is a contemporary watercolor artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her work recognizes subtle behaviors and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. She is particularly intrigued by the ways in which we see the world based on a perceived view point. She draws on whimsical streetscapes or busy markets as a foundation for these explorations, often obscuring a viewpoint or highlighting an interaction.
Public Art Installation, Toronto Western Hospital
The art installation at Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) aims to connect the hospital's long history with the diverse, vibrant community surrounding it. The artwork celebrates the cultural and historic elements of the surrounding neighborhoods, incorporating influences from Kensington/Chinatown, Dundas West, Scadding Court, and Alexandra Park. Through large-scale imagery, the artwork includes symbols of belonging, food, landmarks, urban nature, and music, with the intent to engage viewers in recognizing their own connection to the area’s shared history.
New collection. Night Walks and White at Night.
With themes inspired by photography by patriciagrace titled, nightwalks and white at night, I invite viewers to experience a palette outside of my usual work—one that navigates the contrast of darkness with soft, illuminating whites. Each piece in the collection radiates a quiet, dreamlike quality, evoking a sense of mystery, tranquility, and reflection.
