Angel Wings by Kelsey Montague, O'Connell's Bar

Kelsey Montague is an artist from Colorado who travels the world painting murals and interactive art. She painted these wings in October 2019 as part of her '#whatliftsyou' series. This is the second set of wings she completed on the wall beside O'Connell's pub. Initially a pair of monochrome wings which she painted in July 2017 adorned the wall beside O'Connell's pub. She says "My murals specifically invite people into a piece and then invite people to share their experience online. I believe that art should not be separated from the human experience. Instead the human experience should have a hand in creating the art itself." Kelsey studied art in Florence and graduated from Richmond University in London with a degree in Art, Design & Media. She spent 4 years in NYC developing her pen & ink style. On her website she says of her style "People have asked me where the designs come from in my illustrations. I could give some long, mystical answer, but the truth is… I honestly don’t know. I just know that when I start drawing, I completely lose myself in the flow of images. I hope you enjoy these designs as much as I enjoyed creating them!"
