Barely Awake?

Kalee Bly Choiniere (art alias Barely Awake) is a nomadic painter, muralist, and designer that brings whimsical, drippy psychedelic flowers and imagery to life. Her use of vibrant colors paired with swirling patterns creates a vortex, a portal that melts and merges the onlookers internal perspective with the external reality, viscerally stimulating a hug for the brain.

Kalee’s mission as an artist is to bring portal-like paintings to life, and give you permission to be absorbed into a loving vortex. Her paintings are bright, drippy, and colorful, emoting understanding, care, and comfort— the tender space where the darkness meets the light.
