Kellie Raines 

I'm a trained theatre actor, writer, director, and self-taught visual artist. My creative career is based on theatrical performance, and my aesthetic strongly favors story, image, body image, gender politics, poetry, and emotion. 

My visual art uses pastels, pencil, watercolor, ink, and 3-dimensional experimentation.

I am drawn to discordant images, ideas, and people on the fringe, unusual color combinations, and creating more than others destroy. 

I love site-specific performance and art. This out-of-the-box approach fosters direct communication with the spectator/witness/participant/artist & creator.
