Pronouns: She/Her

Kelsey is a visual artist and arts organizer from Wisconsin. She earned a BFA from UW-Madison and worked as an assistant registrar and preparator for the Chazen Museum of Art. She currently serves on the Board of Sculpture Tour Eau Claire, the largest rotating outdoor tour in the country. Through Sculpture Tour, she co-founded ColorBlock, an annual mural painting program for emerging artists. Kelsey is also the owner and curator of ArtFly Gallery, which creates unique opportunities for artists to share their work through pop-up exhibitions, zines, and more! She has organized art exhibitions at UW-Madison, Pablo Center at the Confluence, and Heyde Center for the Arts. Kelsey is a collector of hobbies and artistic mediums, ranging from fiber installations to paper pulp sculptures to floral arrangements. When she’s not creating or curating, she’s probably swimming in the lake or cuddling her chiweenie.

As an advocate for the arts, she believes in fostering equity and an inclusive atmosphere for all. This passion aids in her role as Visitor Services Manager at Franconia, engaging artists and guests with knowledge about the Park and ensuring everyone has an unforgettable experience here.
