Visual Art – Philadelphia

“I am going to make everything around me beautiful; that will be my life.” This quote, by Elise de Wolfe, resonates with Keisha on a very visceral level. When thinking about her work, and the various forms it takes, this quote expresses her life’s mission- to make everything around her beautiful. She has expressed this mission through her visual arts work, art workshops for youth as well as arts & empowerment events for other creatives. Keisha "I Make Everything Beautiful" Whatley is a Philadelphia artist who grew up in West Philadelphia. A graduate of the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, Keisha excelled at the drawing and painting discipline going on to study at Parsons School of Design (NY), The School of Visual Arts (NY) and The Art Institute of Philadelphia (PA). Using her creativity as the main ingredient, her work aims to create something aesthetically beautiful while challenging viewers to question beliefs, inherent biases and the need for compassion in everyday life.
