Kelly Beeman
Kelly Beeman is a self-taught artist and fashion illustrator based in New York City. Her diverse body of work consists of simple, black and white contour drawings of nudes, as well as fully-rendered watercolor paintings. Beeman is interested in the relationship between fashion and culture, and is inspired by fashion as an increasingly-important feature of everyday life. By 'dressing' the characters in her paintings, she uses fashion as a tool to create personalities, narratives, and context, and explores the significance of trend and personal appearance in modern culture.
