Keltie Ferris

Keltie Ferris (born 1977, Louisville, Kentucky) is an American abstract painter who currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. She earned a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and an MFA from the Yale School of Art (2006).[1]

Style and technique

Ferris uses several main techniques in her work, including spray guns, chunky paint applied with palette knives, and most recently the application of oil and pigments to the canvas using her own body. [2] Her paintings are casualist[3] and reference such disparate sources as pointillism, pixelation, and graffiti,[4] invite the viewer to question what it is they are seeing and to put the images together for themselves.[5]

Awards

2014 Rosenthal Family Foundation Award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[6]
