Kaysha Siemens
Kaysha Siemens was born and raised in Canada, and now makes her home in the beautiful and inspiring mountains near Asheville, NC. She shows in various galleries and conventions, and has been exhibiting at IX since 2016. Her paintings and drawings are found in private and public collections all over the world.
Since childhood, she has held a special love for folklore and mythology, and is fascinated with the way ancient tales, archetypes and symbols resonate over and over, the visual depictions of them forming an unending thread of story from artist to artist and century to century, no matter how literal or oblique the interpretation. Whatever her subject, she seeks to stir with beauty, to arrest with quietude, and ultimately to leave the viewer with a lingering sense that they have had a brush with the sublime.
