Hi! I’m Kellie and I’m a non-binary + queer + Asian American artist working out of Seattle, WA. While I have an Arts History/Arts Management degree from the University of San Francisco, most of my art experience stems from a creatively nurturing childhood and way too many hobbies.

My work has been shown in galleries across the country and I am currently on the artists roster for the City of Seattle and for Lakeshore Arts. I currently run two small art businesses-- one for my art and commissions and a second to sell merch, apparel and prints. I tend to wear a lot of hats and divide my time between administrative tasks and creating. My insatiable curiosity pushes the boundaries of my work, allowing for explorations into various art forms, mediums, techniques and styles. Currently, I’m working in digital illustrations and mixed media paintings.
