Kelcy Parrish Art A collection of art from my brain to yours. Hi there! Welcome to my page! :) My name is Kelcy Parrish, or KP. Follow me !

From a very young age, I can remember being enamored with the art of handwriting. I enjoy tracing the connectivity between the lines that create a word. I believe everyone has a unique penmanship, and in some cases is a reflection of their own self and personality. Recently, I joined the vast online community of letterers on Instagram and am loving every minute of it! By learning from other callig

raphers, letterers, and designers, I am finding new tools and techniques around every corner. I enjoy watching my process unfurl and get better – and would love to invite you to join in my journey. I accept custom orders! Just shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] & I'd love to chat about your idea! I also offer an array of standard graphic design services, such as: Logo design, illustration, newsletters, posters, flyers, one-sheets, banners, mailers, web design, advertising (print & digital), UI design, and t-shirt designs! I also offer design consultation as a service. Already have a design, but can't figure out what's missing? Let me get my eyes on it and I'll help polish it up for you and offer art direction at a minimal cost. :)

Anything else you don't see above, just ask! I have a wide network of amazing designer / artist friends and I love helping connect people!

first time painting with gouache • here are my thoughts 👇

just like the typical artistic process, I did NOT like the new medium in the beginning.

about 3/4ths into the project though, something shifted and things started coming together.

biggest pro of gouache: VERY forgiving
biggest con of gouache: so forgiving you find yourself re-painting this section…then this section…etc etc. 😆

in the end, i became a big fan of gouache and will definitely be utilizing it more!!

it’s like a mixture between watercolor and oil… loved that o could build up texture & use a palette knife!

highly recommend trying it if you are into water based painting!

“Onward, Still.”
20x24
Soft Pastel & Acrylic on Canvas

Similar to “I’m Still Reaching Too,” this piece came from a place that hadn’t been unearthed in a long time. A reflection of past, present, and motherhood all at once.

It’s about carrying on, even when things feel unclear. Even when you’re facing darkness.

The figure is her. It’s me. It’s every woman who keeps going.

There’s more I could say about this one, but for now, I’m just grateful to have her.

“I’m Still Reaching Too”
Soft Pastel & Acrylic on Canvas

one of the first pieces of art i have created for myself in a long time. motherhood is teaching me a lot. surrendering to the unknown, the constant figuring it out, the joyful heartbreaks. This is my way of trying to bottle it all up. ❤️‍🩹

as long as we’re reaching, we’ll always find a way. together. 🥹

A Letter to My Pumping Bra —

I hate the way I needed you — every hour of every day.
They don’t tell you this part in the classes that you take.

I hate the way you were required — another part, another piece,
while “liquid gold” was the only way they said a baby should eat.

I hate the way your straps fell down — never quite a perfect fit,
buying ten other man-made bras just to circle back to you as “it.”

I hate the way I could never wash you — scared to leak again and again,
not too loose, not too tight — God forbid my supply dip then.

I hate the way you became my friend — with me at the crack of dawn,
a tattered little beacon of light, this fabric I slept on.

I hate the way I needed you… until our journey met its end.
Another part no one prepares you for — saying goodbye to this strange new friend.

And maybe what I really hate
is that you held a version of me —
exhausted, determined, undone —
doing the hardest thing quietly.

I hate the way I walk past you now, signaling our time is through,
But maybe what I know deep down, is —
Your support was proof that my strength is true.

So you stay just a second… then one more… then two,
Because time feels gentler when you’re holding ‘you.’

And maybe, just maybe…this is your favorite part of the day too. 🥹

“Day One(s)” 🥹 my christmas gift to lee.

probably the most personal piece i’ve worked on yet!! how do you paint the two most important people in the most perfect moment?

i worked on this over several months last year. it was just never complete to me and still don’t think it is, but - im so glad i attempted to seal this sweet moment forever. there’s nothing like that first day!! 🥹

my forever loves.

happy birthday to my beautiful baby boy. 😭🩵 1/31/2025
