Kelpsy

Artist / Creative (Individual)

A Boston-based artist, Kelpsy’s illustrations flutter across fabrics, arrive upon postcards or stickers, and land on hand-pulled screen prints. Kitchen linens are brightened with custom fabrics & hand-sewn into functional art objects. Kelpsy’s versatile work welcomes the viewer into colorful, thoughtful domestic space. Queerness and an optimistic, fighting spirit are central themes of their artistic practice, and it’s a joy to share those images with you!
