Ethereal

by Kelley Hensing

I really enjoyed painting this piece, hibernating in my studio with snow falling outside. I chose the drawing from a group of sketches I’ve been making from my head while listening to ambient space music. As I was painting it I also listened to an audio book called The Untethered Soul, which paired nicely with the imagery. (A thank you to my sister for that one.)

Bio: Kelley is inspired by the mysterious. She grew up in a house by the woods surrounded by animals and wilderness, so many of her themes bring together strange nature, mortality and spirituality. Using archetypes of characters from folklore and myth as well as her own stories, she enjoys portraying unusual tales that symbolize our hopes and fears.

Kelley earned her MFA from the School of Visual Arts and her BFA from the Rhode Island School of design. Her favorite mediums are oils on wood and pencil on paper, and she loves to create her work by hand. Her favorite genres range from gothic and steampunk to classic fantasy and legends. Traveling is her only other passion equal to a career in art and is a vital component in inspiring her work.
