Kelsi Heck is a Nashville-based illustrator. Her creations revolve around a world of vivid colors, odd juxtaposition, and offbeat perspectives. She aims to pull viewers into her mind, illustrating that what is seen doesn't have to be all that is there. Allowing herself to take in the world as art rather than just buildings and grass, her art career has been a quest to present the world she sees behind her eyelids and replaces when she's awake. 

Kelsi recieved an Associate's in Studio Art from Walters State Community College in 2019 with a focus in Graphic Design/Computer Graphics. She finished her degree at Middle Tennessee State University in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Arts, minoring in Video and Film Production. During her time at MTSU, she completed a thesis titled " Building Characters: Using Shapes to Communicate Emotion and Story in Narrative Art ". She has worked with companies like Kaman's Art Shoppes as a Product Representative and Face Painter, and Iconex as a Graphic Design Intern building files to create label-cutting tools.
