Statement: For me, the layering and overlapping of patterns is a proxy for the interwoven ecological relationships that make up the natural world. Landscapes and seascapes are the logical framework within which I can explore patterns and build up textures. I seek to represent nature’s great complexity and age while at the same time not losing the magic of nature as I saw it as a child.

Bio: My life has not been a straight line. It has included much living in wild or rural places. I hold a BS in Animal&Veterinary Sciences, a BA in Studio Art, and an MFA in Fine Art. I have had a career in Art and Science education spanning K-college. Presently I live on a small farm and paint full time.

The Land of the Pointed Firs is the name of my art fair business because it evokes the magic of Maine’s still wild environment. In the past two years I’ve been selling paintings, giclee prints, calendars, and cards through art fairs in Maine, primarily as a means of gaining exposure.

I am now turning back to galleries and am represented by Blue Raven Gallery in Rockland, Maine. I can be found on Instagram as kbdesrosiers_artist. I can also be contacted at kellyofunity@gmail.com.
