Kelcey Bates
Kelcey has an early artistic background in watercolors, with a passion for charcoal figure drawing and more recently painting with pastels; she finds the spontaneity and vibrancy of pastels lends itself well to her landscapes, still lifes, portraits and random smatterings of whimsy. Kelcey won the “Image Award” from the Allied Arts of Whatcom County 2007 juried competition for the La Bella Strada Festival. The piece chosen was the image used on all the marketing materials for the La Bella Strada Festival of 2008. Her work has been accepted in NW Pastel society juried shows, “Unclad” 2005, 2006, and 2008, and in “Brushes with the Land” 2006 and 2007. Her work has also been displayed in countless coffee shops and restaurants in Bellingham and Edmonds as well as appearing in the Solovei Art Gallery of Everett and “Gallery by the Bay” in Stanwood. Her work is in private collections in California, Washington and New Zealand.
