Paintings by Homer artist Kellie Kekich
Celebrating life outdoors with friends and family.
Kellie Kekich (b. 1997) is a Homer, Alaska based artist originally from Sheridan, Wyoming. She has spent her whole life creating art and soakin in the pleasures of life outdoors. After living in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and now Alaska, she has garnered a deep appreciation for the mountains, the local ecology, and the communities who choose to live in such close proximity to wilderness and nature.
Beyond oil painting Kellie expresses her artistic ability through many facets of art making, including design, illustration, digital art, landscape design and fine gardening. Through painting, she expresses her deep appreciation for artistic tradition, nodding namely to the master artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Growing up in Wyoming, Kellie was exposed to the rich history of the recent wild west, primarily through vivid paintings of cowboy country, seemingly psychedelic and colorful landscapes of her favorite places in the mountains, and portraiture of the indigenous peoples who cultivated and maintained the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
