Kelsey was born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota. (That's right, of the Beattle's song 'Rocky Raccoon' notoreity.) She is loving her time on the East Coast, but misses being surrounded by forests. An aspiring marine biologist, she plans to save the whales - literally. In the meantime, she'll keep doing her art, paddling all things aquatic, climbing any vertical surface, and working hard to keep up her tree-huggin', nature-lovin' ways.
