Kellie Newsome, a Georgia-based artist, specializes in crafting dynamic and abstracted still-life artworks. Her unique approach involves layering additional textures, infusing her paintings with depth and vibrancy. Her work is distinguished by a loose and expressive style that places emphasis on line structure, a feature that allows her to celebrate the intricate details within her creations.
“Painting is my passion; I enjoy the process of capturing something beautiful and organic while creating contrast with vibrant and pastel colors combined with quiet spaces and bold mark-making. My subject matter is often plants or animals that make me feel empowered or inspired as metaphors for my own life experiences.”
Newsome was born in Columbus, Georgia and grew up on a small farm in Alabama. The extended time she spent outdoors further inspired her love of flora and fauna. While attending Troy University, Chroma’s Atelier Interactive brand of paint began sponsoring her art practice. Her artworks have been collected across the United States as she continues to create from her studio in Columbus, Georgia.
