finding magnificent in the mundane
Fairfield, Connecticut Artist
Kelsie Oreta
I'm a Connecticut-based artist and multimedia storyteller passionate about the interplay between people and their environments, both natural and intentionally designed. I create visual experiences that invite a viewer's eyes for a dance, eliciting a 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.
Writing
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.
