Kleen Blast

Kelli MacConnell is a printmaker based in Chimacum, WA, who is dedicated to exploring the endless possibilities of relief printmaking and creating original, introspective art inspired by the raw beauty of the natural world. With a focus on the expansive and diverse environment of the Pacific Northwest Landscape, MacConnell uses contrast, minimal color, and line manipulation to create exhilarating compositions that speak beyond the frame, fostering a healthier relationship between humans and nature. Having studied art at Portland State University and received her BFA with a focus in printmaking, MacConnell has since become a full-time artist and mother, showcasing her prints in private collections, galleries, and publications worldwide. She is represented by various galleries and participates in premier fine art and crafts shows. MacConnell's printmaking process involves linocut, where a design is carved into a linoleum surface and then inked and impressed onto paper, often utilizing a printing press to achieve an embossing effect. In addition to her prints, MacConnell offers custom framing services that meticulously craft frames to preserve and enhance the beauty of her artwork.Generated from the website
