About Kelly Kruse
Artist Kelly Kruse uses her work to explore the painful, beautiful experience of human transience, longing, and suffering. She developed a visual devotional practice as a response to her battle with depression, through which she wrestles with beauty, history, and theology. Kelly describes her work as contemporary illumination. Like the medieval monks who perfected the art of illuminated manuscripts, she seeks to awake in the viewer a sense of spiritual contemplation.
Materials Used:
Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Artist Ink is an acrylic-based pigmented ink that is water-resistant on most surfaces. All colours have a three- or four-star rating for permanence, meaning that they can be used for permanent display. As well as using them in their raw state, you can dilute them to create subtle washes to which you can then add further layers. They're Available in bottles of 29.5ml (with a dispensing lid) or 180ml (with easy pour application lid).
