Kasey Forehand

Kasey Forehand is a contemporary artist whose colorful paintings celebrate the beauty and character of everyday life. Inspired by the landscapes, architecture and wildlife of the places she loves, her work is known for its bold color, loose brushstrokes and playful perspective. From the mountains of Virginia to the coastal Lowcountry, Kasey enjoys capturing familiar subjects in unexpected ways. Her paintings invite viewers to find joy and a little whimsy in the world around them.

Kasey’s artistic influences come from her travels and her studies in Children’s Picture Book Illustration at Hollins College, VA. Her time studying art in Aix-en-Provence, France, deepened her appreciation for the Impressionists and their use of light and color. That influence continues to shape her work today, particularly her love of painting out doors and experimenting with color.

Along with her own painting practice, Kasey teaches studio art at Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia. She enjoys sharing her love of art with students and helping them discover their own creative styles. Her work can be found at Georgetown Art Gallery in Georgetown, South Carolina, Perspective Art Gallery in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and Riverviews Artspace, Lynchburg, VA.
