Meet The Artist

"Keely Jeanise" is an acrylic paint artist from Saint Louis, Missouri who adds a unique twist to Cubism Pop Art. Her inspiration to create is driven by her passions for photography, nature, beauty, love, color, and music. She's managed to capture the eyes of collectors with her vibrant color combinations, free-hand brush strokes when creating bold, crisp lines, and occasionally sequins to add a touch of shimmer.

 

The youngest of 4 children, Keely grew up playing outdoors or in her bedroom with Lisa Frank folders, coloring books, and little projects made of gathered materials. Highlighters, ink pens, Sharpies, and colored printing paper were just the beginning of it all when her parents would bring home extra office supplies from work to support her love for creating.

 

Keely made her first sale after completing a commissioned portrait drawing for her high school bus driver. She was later introduced to acrylics in a required painting class where she learned to paint portraits. Keely went on to college to study Graphic Design before later switching to a Painting major after 2 years and interning at an art gallery as a receptionist. Her background in Design has continued to have a significant impact on her current process today when creating each of her paintings. 

​

Holding a BFA from the University of Missouri-Saint Louis, Keely’s paintings have been acknowledged in the St. Louis American Newspaper, auctioned off for charity, awarded by a local art supply store, and displayed in a variety of scenes including galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, and hospitals. She continues to sell paintings and prints at local events, as well as through her online store, distributed to collectors across the United States.
