Me and my studio buddy, Remi

Kelsey Bowen grew up in the California foothills, spending summers making up stories and picking thistles from her socks. Her figurative sculptures are inspired by emotion, metaphors, and childhood memories, themes that she uses to create a narrative caught between whimsy and disquiet. She moved to Montana in 2017 where she was an Artist in Residence at the Red Lodge Clay Center and an instructor at Rocky Mountain College. Her ceramic work has been exhibited internationally and in galleries from coast to coast. She received her BFA in Ceramics from the California College of the Arts in 2017 and is currently working as a workshop instructor and professional artist at her home base in Montana.
