About this experience

Saturday, November 15th at 10:30 am

If you’ve ever looked at an abstract painting and wondered, “How do they do that?”—this class is for you! For a couple of hours, in this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of creating your own expressive acrylic painting from scratch. You'll be painting something you feel, not something you see. You'll leave knowing how to build a composition using color, texture, and simple layering techniques that bring your piece to life. No experience necessary—just curiosity and an open mind. You don't need to bring anything, just come ready to play with paint, explore your creativity, and leave with something beautiful you'll be proud to frame and hang at home.

Kellsie Moore is a multidisciplinary artist working as a painter, actress, author, dancer, and entrepreneur. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology with a Visual Arts minor and the President’s Leadership Honors distinction. Kellsie is particularly influenced by French Post-Impressionism, weaving short brushstrokes and a Tuscan-inspired palette into her work. Her paintings explore emotion, sensation, and the beauty of the natural world.

Known for her artist in residence at the globally renowned Vincent Van Gogh Immersive Exhibit, she uses emotive brushstrokes to capture the inspiration of the moment. Her work carries a force-of-nature undertone that tells a story, compelling you to feel something powerful, connected, inspired.

You'll find something new to look at each time you view these expressive pieces.

Creativity has been a constant in Kellsie’s life. She grew up dancing in many styles, from ballroom to kickline, and has spent years acting both on stage and on screen. Currently, she is in revisions for her first novel, further expanding her storytelling through words as well as visuals.

Her travels through more than 20 countries have shaped her perspective, blending cultural diversity and natural beauty into her artistic practice. Through painting, performance, and writing, Kellsie seeks to connect people across cultures, languages, and time, using art as a universal bridge of emotion and expression.
