Happy Caturday from Alfie and Ernest 😸 “put it on Instagram, Mum” says Alfie excitably, Ernest is not impressed. I’m not impressed either, was sitting nicely on my fav chair having a nice afternoon coffee and was kicked off by the cat. #mustbecaturday hope you are having a lovely day . . . #caturday #design #interiors #interiordesign #designerslife #home #homedecor #homesweethome
Hello lovely people 👋🏻 I’ve been terrible at insta again 😊 I’ve still been designing and painting, and working on a lot of fun things, and I’m sorry I haven’t been sharing my work with you guys. I have had to use my usual ‘social media time’ for some self-care which has been really instrumental in setting up some healthy habits and I’m feeling fit, strong and energetic now. So, here I am, back again, ready to connect with this awesome art and design community. I’ve missed you, and I’m super happy to get back into sharing some of my work and inspiration and seeing what you’ve been up to. I look forward to ‘virtually catching up’ with you, All the best ❤️ xx Kels xx . . Ive been thinking I may do a post to introduce myself again, I don’t think I’ve done one for well over a year, maybe even two 😬 I will have to psych myself up for a selfie, and think of some info to share. I love seeing other people’s intros so I guess it’s about time I joined in 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . . #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #ihavethisthingwithpink
Part of a suite of work I did for the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with @influxcreative (swipe to see a tiny sample inside pages). It has been awesome working on these (and lots of other materials) for the ASO for the past few years, all-consuming but awesome! . . Currently working on the marketing material for the History Festival, which is keeping me busy. Lots of typesetting, but I also do love that side of design, having to be perfect and making sure everything is 👌🏻 . . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #contemporaryart #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #geometric #geo #australianart #artist #designer #graphicdesigner #southaustralia

After months of working in the sunroom I finally have a corner of a studio, so good to have my own space that I can leave setup without the kids getting into everything. Also great to be in the same studio as hubs @influxcreative again, will make it a lot easier as we collaborate on so much design work together #studio #wip #workinprogress #artstudio #designstudio #multidisciplinary . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #patterndesign #surfacedesign #studio #homeoffice

Sneaky snippet of one of the new paintings I’m working on ➖going slowly but surely with these ones. It’s a small goal but I was hoping to complete 4 largish paintings by End of Feb, I don’t think I’m going to finish the forth but I’m still happy to be pushing myself to #carveouttimeforart on top of my graphic design work. It’s a busy time and I’ll probably have to stop painting altogether in March - hopefully I can make the time if only if it’s a few minute a day for a sketchy sketch. #wip #workinprpgress . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #ihavethisthingwithpink

#throwbackthursday #tbt here's a throwback to this art print 'geo' from 2014. It was part of my first SALA festival exhibition and was the first 'leap' into art after working in design for a long time. I am still a designer and spend much of my working hours on client work, I do my art at nights, early mornings and weekends whenever I can carve out the time. So far this year I have been working slowly but surely on a series of paintings that I will be able to release in one hit as a collection. I have been holding 'my cards' closely for a few reasons, but I am glad to be sharing some snippets with you soon. There may be some visual references that are reminiscent of this work so thought it apt to share a #throwback . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #wip #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #artprint #gicleeprint #homedecor #homedecordesign
