Kelsey D. Kastelitz is an artist and poet, deeply inspired by gothic romance, Victorian florals, moody undertones, and feminine energy. Her recent gallery collections include Winged Creatures (2024), Fragments of Time (2024), and The Swan and the Black Widow Spider (2023).
In 2020, Kelsey self-published her debut poetry book, Where the Rose Petals Fall, which subsequently inspired the creation of ‘Pétalas de Rosa’, an online art gallery and small shop. In 2025, she released her second poetry book, Among the Dying Daffodils.
Kelsey's artistic journey also led her to explore Holistic Medicine in 2022, earning certificates in "Spirituality, Health, and Healing," "Energy Medicine," "Meditation," "Mindfulness," and "Holistic and Integrative Health."
Furthermore, she has a diverse background in the music industry, with experience in event and festival operations, artist management, production assistance, artist merchandise and hospitality, music journalism, and media relations.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Kelsey finds solace in the aroma of old books, gardening sessions with her daughter, and the serenity of golden hours. Along with being a dedicated mother and wife, she immerses herself in the aesthetics of poetry, artwork, & music.
“I aim to create pieces that are beautiful yet ominous, mixing a blend of ambiguous elements that provoke a sense of intrigue and unease.”
