Bio & Statement
About the Artist – Keturah from Kansas
Hi, I’m Keturah, a mixed media and gelli printing artist based in Kansas. My journey into art started early — as my mother loves to tell it, “I knew she was going to be an artist when I found Keturah drawing on the walls at age two.” Ever since, I’ve been captivated by the act of creating: folding, gluing, painting, and playing with paper whenever I could.
In college, I filled my schedule with art classes and spent my free time collaborating with other creatives. We’d gather to experiment and inspire each other, always chasing that next spark of inspiration. I’ve never truly stopped making — from cards and journals to vibrant, layered canvases — even before I knew it was called "mixed media."
People often tell me they can see the passion in my work, and that’s the best compliment I could receive. For me, art is play, exploration, and a way to connect deeply — both with myself and others.
Artist Statement
As a mixed-media artist, I thrive in the intersection of bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and layered textures. My work incorporates acrylic and oil paint, collage,and spray paint to create pieces that are as raw and emotional as they are vibrant and alive.
Deeply inspired by my faith, my art is spiritually guided by God and Jesus. Each stroke and mark is a reflection of my desire to connect viewers with the great Creator of our world. Through color and texture, I aim to evoke emotions that resonate with the soul, reminding us all that we are never alone. The great I AM is present—loving us, guiding us, and offering His grace through His son, Jesus Christ.
The process of creating my work mirrors the journey of spiritual rebirth. It often begins in chaos, with layers that feel messy and incomplete. But as I continue to work, the beauty and meaning emerge—just as we are transformed and made whole through Christ.
Through my art, I hope to inspire others to see the divine in the everyday and to find connection and hope in the presence of God.
