Lovebirds

by Kelley Hensing

As time melts away, the bond of love is eternal.

I’ve kept photos of these little birds for a number of years now, and I’ve painted them before for a tiny piece I made for a gallery show at Last Rites in 2014. There’s something about this pair that moves me when I look at them. I’ve been wanting to revisit them to do another version of their story, with the flowers and twigs as embellishments.

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.
