Shrine of The Swallows

by Kelley Hensing

Shrines fascinate me. They carry a sense of mystery in their cloaked figures and use of symbolism. They seek to evoke a spiritual presence, some with great opulence and others with quiet allure.

Artwork created in pencil on paper, with accents using color pencils and gold leaf paint. Frame is new, black stained wood and I added the gold edging.

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.
