Kelly Southee is a Brisbane based artist. She was born in New Zealand and moved to Queensland at a young age. She has lived in Canada and the United States. Kelly enjoys sketching and painting en-plein air as often as she can. However, when time limits this pursuit she takes reference photographs to interpret later in the studio. She uses a variety of mediums to create her works: pen and ink, pastels and paint. As a former interior architect, working in the ‘built environment’, Kelly is currently focused on capturing ‘our places’: old buildings and homes, modest garages and massive backyards that tell a story of change, or of better times. She feels an urgency to honour these character-filled buildings, streetscapes, treescapes and precious green spaces, as they disappear to make way for urban redevelopment.
