Current Collaborations

  • Keely Angel, Artist

    Keely creates minimalist collages characterized by expansive white space, achieved by cutting from the margins of early to mid 20th-century magazines. The process of scouring through these magazines becomes meditative as she seeks out intriguing textures, colors, patterns, and words or phrases, allowing this flow-like state to guide the search for material and later in the composition.

    Keely has opted to donate a percentage of proceeds to KYDS, a non-profit conscious youth development organization that transforms Youth, Schools and communities through holistic practices.
