welcome.
Serena Niesley is an artist, illustrator, designer, and poet based out of Philadelphia, PA.
Serena’s art practice is primarily in gouache, watercolor, and digital illustration, but also dips into other media such as fabric, film, collage, and photography. In all of her work, she strives to draw a line between beauty, spirituality, and connections of nature and community. The images she creates are folk-inspired and deeply rooted in place. She practices contemplation and reflection on the spiritual aspects of nature: both as a source of beauty and mystery, but also as a teacher and guide of how to live and act towards each other. Her work engages in simple and metaphorical imagery, often nature-based, to explore psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences.
Deeply interested in humans and nature, and the connection between the two, she believes that learning to see beauty in ordinary places is a kind of spiritual and therapeutic practice.
