Kelsey Rae Evans is an artist based in Memphis, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband, son, and three dogs. With a background in art and interior design, her work brings together a thoughtful balance of color, form, and texture.

Kelsey’s interest in art began early, learning to paint and sew from her grandmother—a creative influence that continues to shape her process today. Her paintings often feature soft abstracts and floral forms, using layered washes and subtle sketches to create a sense of quiet movement. She works primarily on raw canvas, allowing pigments to soak and spread in organic, unexpected ways. In many of her pieces, she incorporates hand-stitching or embroidery, blending her painterly practice with a love for textiles.

Her style is gentle and intuitive, with colors that lean toward soft neutrals, earthy tones, and delicate accents. A palette that is restrained, yet expressive. Whether working on canvas or fabric, Kelsey’s work invites a slower look, often inspired by natural elements, memory, and the comfort of handmade things
