finding magnificent in the mundane

Kelsie Oreta

I'm passionate about the interplay between people and their environments, both natural and intentionally designed.  I create experiences that invite a viewer's eyes for a dance, encouraging a moment of pause that modern life often neglects.

Hi, I'm Kelsie.

Living an artful live is an odyssey of ingenuity. I ponder this experience, destinations along the way, and the lessons learned throughout on my personal blog and, at times, through poetry.

Interiors, gardens, costumes, oh my! I love following my curiosity and digging my hands in something fresh, be it soil, textiles, packaging waste, wood, or metal

Inspired by the Impressionists, I use bright daubs of acrylic or oil paint to depict candid snapshots that represent stories of small, precious moments that make up everyday life--in technicolor.
