Kelcey Bates Bellingham WA The art of Kelcey Bates is emotional and intuitive, and its impact is immediate. Her work grows from a strong connection to people and a passion for life and its ever-changing drama. It is important to Kelcey that work reaches and communicates with the viewer. Creating art is not a totally solitary experience. When a viewer visits one her paintings, they bring their own experiences to it and relate themselves to the painting. This personalizes the experience for the viewer. She approaches both life and art head on, full of vitality. Visual and physical energy, to her, is most powerful where natural elements meet, touch and overlap. Kelcey's art is found in numerous private collections around the country, Germany and New Zealand. Nude No. 16 18 x 24 ($450) Soft pastel
