Kellie Newsome


Dynamic and abstracted still life artworks are the specialty of Georgia-based artist Kellie Newsome. Her work is characterized by a loose and expressive style emphasizing line structure to celebrate the details. Through layering additional texture, Newsome creates paintings with depth and liveliness.

Through a masterful interplay of vibrant and pastel hues, she navigates the canvas, conjuring contrast that is both captivating and contemplative. The infusion of quiet spaces and audacious mark-making in her work becomes a dynamic dialogue, rendering each piece a nuanced exploration of depth and life. Her subject matter, often manifesting in the form of striking plants and captivating animals, serves as a conduit for empowerment and inspiration—a metaphoric tapestry woven with the threads of her own life experiences.
