About

Huskee is a multidisciplinary visual artist specializing in painting and mixed media drawing, whose work spans whimsical surrealism, horror-inspired illustration, and abstract fine art. Her illustrative style blends surreal, whimsical, and horror-inspired imagery with expressive, character-driven figures, creating dreamlike visuals with raw, visceral undertones. In contrast, her abstract art explores emotion, memory, and internal landscapes through layered color and fluid lines. Though these styles exist in their own worlds, they are united by a core purpose: to provoke emotion, spark curiosity, and invite deeper reflection.

Drawing since childhood, Huskee expanded her practice as a teenager to include abstract painting in watercolor and acrylic, which remain among her favored mediums. Originally from the East Coast, she attended an art-focused high school in Vermont before studying illustration, fine art, and graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore in 2010.

In 2011, Huskee founded Whisky Kettle Collectives, an artist collective showcasing the work of 14 artists through an online store, blog, and YouTube channel. The collective produced products including graphic apparel, prints, and posters featuring each artist's work, while also hosting gallery exhibitions and artist events in Baltimore, often collaborating with local musicians. Huskee ended the collective in 2014, but carried many of the lessons from that experience into the development of her own art business, launching Huskee Art in 2024 and Designs by Huskee in 2025.

Now based in California, Huskee continues to expand her practice through studio work, exhibitions, murals, illustration, and creative collaborations. In 2024, she was selected as one of 16 artists for a large-scale public mural project in Santa Rosa, California. Completed in 2025, the mural is now on public display in Art Alley in the SOFA Arts District and was featured in Mark Makers’ Quarterly. Her work has also appeared in independent art publications and group exhibitions, including her first international group exhibition at CICA Museum in South Korea in 2026. She plans to continue expanding her exhibition and collaborative work locally, nationally, and internationally.
