Kelsey Emblow, is an artist based in Yorkshire. She studied graphic design and illustration at university and graduated in 2013. With a new passion for graphic design, she spent 7 years at different graphic design agencies until leaving in 2019. Working on her art and illustration in her space time drawing only animals.

She has exhibited these animal illustrations in Bradford, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. As well as stocking her work in a few places across England.

Her biggest influence in her work has been her father. Inspired by one of his drawings he did when he was at university. He drew a woman in stippling in black ink. Kelsey began using this technique in her work in 2012 and loved it. She began to experiment further using dots in different ways and adding new mediums into the mix. Working in watercolours, acrylics and even oils.

Kelsey subjects of sea animals come from her lifestyle. Loving the outdoors and the occasional dip in a lake or the ocean. Her pieces evoke the feelings you get when you go to the beach or for a swim/dive in the open ocean or even in lakes. The sea is a magical place but also quite daunting and scary.
