I'm Kelsie.
tinykelsie.com has been my little place on the internet for a decade. Not-quite an internet native, I grew up sharing bits and pieces of myself--even the most vulnerable--with website after website: livejournal, myspace, facebook, instagram--always changing with the trends, giving away my data to the latest tech overlord. I started to share here instead, little by little.
Life has changed a lot over the years: a wedding, a cross country move, another move, a baby, a teenager, world travel. Most of those changes occurred at such a rapid pace that I didn't make time to blog about them. But even as I wasn't writing, posts kept getting traffic, especially DIYs, costumes, and travel posts.. I love that my creative work and travels inspire others, year after year.
Home decor and Halloween costumes are a blast, but I've found my true passion in painting. I continue to share adventures near and far, lessons along the way, and creations of all sorts, but now you'll find my painting gallery alongside those musings.
Yep! I'm just under 5 feet tall.
that creating is an innate human act. Just as the bird sings without concern, humans are meant to make marks as we once did on cave walls.
I believe
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.
