About Kelsey Emblow

 
 
  • Biography

    Hi, I’m Kelsey!

    I’m an artist from Yorkshire with a big love for animals, the ocean, and turning tiny dots into something magical!

    I studied graphic design and illustration, then worked in design agencies for seven years. But in my free time, I kept coming back to drawing animals—and that’s where my heart really is.


    My love for dot art (called stippling) started with my dad. He once showed me a black ink drawing he made at uni, and I was hooked. I began experimenting with my own dots in 2012, and since then, I’ve gone from simple black and white to colourful, layered pieces using digital tools, paint, and more.

    Now, I mix magical nature themes with detailed dotwork to create art that feels calm, dreamy, and full of life. You’ll find whales, forests, and all kinds of creatures hiding in my dots.

    My work has been shown in exhibitions around Yorkshire—and now I’m excited to share it with you here too.
