CIRRICULUM VITAE
Keitha is a Canadian artist
…working in a range of disciplines including printmaking, painting, and drawing – often weaving techniques from one discipline to another. Her work is characterized by the use of layers, multiple media, colour, and a playful mixture of simultaneously rendering form and flattening pictorial space with collage and pattern. Keitha’s techniques and subject matter – fluidly moving between figuration and abstraction – give her work its unique contemporary feel. You can find more of Keitha’s art on her Instagram @keitha.art and Facebook @keithamcclocklinart.
