About

Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in Southern California. Earlier this year, I became interested in making zines as an outlet for my feelings after a breakup. After receiving positive feedback on my first few issues, I found that I really enjoyed the process and was inspired to make zines about other topics!

Growing up in Los Angeles, I learned early on how powerful it can be to embrace your own voice even when others do not take it seriously. My work is a visual extension of my "valley girl" accent: aggressively cute characters in bright colors, cheerful (and maybe even juvenile) at first glance, but layered with darker themes that emerge in contrast. I hope my art motivates others with similar experiences to share their work with confidence. And of course, I hope that people enjoy what I'm doing and wanna support it however they can.

If you'd like to read my first zines, they are free to view on http://www.tamazine.net.
