Paintings

Bold, colorful, and emotionally charged, my paintings are where I explore the relationship between light and shadow in a literal sense, and invite viewers to reflect on their own emotional landscapes.

Photographs and Digital Art

About Kellie Jo Close

The Power of Art and the Shadow Self

At the heart of Kellie Jo Art is my belief that art is a tool for self-discovery, empowerment, and healing. My work draws inspiration from Carl Jung’s exploration of archetypes, particularly his focus on the shadow self.

Through a variety of media, I explore the complexities of human psychology, inviting viewers to face their shadow aspects and embrace their full selves.

Each creation is an extension of my own journey to integrate these hidden parts, turning pain into beauty and darkness into light.
