“Seductive and feminine, (Kellie’s painting) combines pin-up style flirtation with ball-busting, coy flair.”

Colorado artist Kellie Day creates fun-filled, quirky collages on canvas guaranteed to make you embrace your child-like wonder and indulge in your most sensuous fantasies.

Surrounded by a limitless playground of mountains, biking trails, rivers and wildlife, Kellie lets her creative juices run wild. Simply put? She can make magic out of the ordinary, and coax a beautiful dance out of a stagnant object.

Seductive and feminine, Pulp Marcel combines pin-up style flirtation with ball-busting, coy flair. Homage to the wiles of a boisterous woman, it’d almost be too much if I could get enough of it!

Jolting lime green and robin’s egg blue counteract the soft, subtle delicateness of the flowers, creating a colorful collage that bursts with blissful charm.

Kellie has used netting, thick white paper, real leaves (at least, that’s what my eyes see) and lightly-accented copy for yet another level of vivaciousness.
