Mandie Keay is a well-established artist based in Calgary, Canada. She specializes in figure and portrait paintings with a strong focus on human expressions and emotions. Most of Keay’s subjects are beautifully rendered, sensual females that she paints mainly on wood. Her works are inspired by elements of animals, florals, tribal designs, tattoo art, mandalas, and religious art, which the artist often uses in her wood paintings to underline the beauty of nature and all organic forms. With detailed brush strokes, Mandie Keay portrays realism, but her intricate compositions also bring out a relaxed sensation where the body and mind are in balance with nature. Her sensual works have been exhibited at a number of art shows and are in many private collections in the United States and Canada.
