Featured Artist ~ Kelsey McCracken



Her Shop ~ A New Perspective

"Creativity and art have been part of my life as long as I can remember. I love painting, photography, reading, writing, color, drawing, and music.
My work reflects who I am and what I love. In a sense, a part of me is in each piece I create. I'm excited to share my perspective with you.

My work has been featured on Simply Hue and Lovely Clusters

'I'd like to add some beauty to life. I don't exactly want to make people know more...though I know that is the noblest ambition, but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me. To have some little joy or happy thoughts that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.' L. M. Montgomery

  2. These illustrations are lovely. I really like that they're done on book pages and that the words that have been highlighted add so much to the paintings.

  4. Kelsey - your work here is so warm and inviting. I am particularly drawn to the portrait of the young girl reading. It is absolutely stunning. I also visited your etsy store, and look forward to seeing more of your work.

  8. Beautiful illustrations! I really like the girl reading. The yellow dress and the red/brown of her hair really work well against the book background.
