newest studio release - 2026: "Divine synergy’ 6’ x 4’ acrylic, gold leaf, metallic paint on canvas $28,000
The Violet flame - 80” x 64” acrylic and gold leaf on wood $58,000
As an artist who has been painting for over 30 years, I love the power of art to change how we move through the world. I find inspiration in the search for spiritual truth and the beauty of the natural world.
The Violet Flame shown here rises from meditation on divine protection and awakening. Lilies represent elegance, wisdom and respect.
Peacock feathers—ancient symbols of spiritual vision and immortality—surround the blossoms, suggesting the opening of higher awareness.
The Violet Flame, acrylic and gold leaf, was created on three wood panels - remnants from a temple Upstate NY.
“Breathe”. 69” x 95” ACRYLIC, GOLD LEAF, oil crayon, spray paint, gold wax ON vinyl $59,000
Detail of ‘Breathe’ from the Sanctuary series
keep your heart free from hate,
For me, painting is meditation in action. It is a lifetime of focused intention to witness and create beauty. My goal for this series was to make statement pieces that are architectural in scale, contemplative in design but also an organic, gestural expression of the natural world.
“Resurrection” 5.5’ x 12’, acrylic and oil crayon spray paint and ink on vinyl $70,000
The gift of an artist is unique vision—the power to transform emptiness into meaning and new life.
detail - Sanctuary: organic florals symbolize the fragile beauty of existence. This is a reminder to be present and enjoy life to the fullest.
Resurrection: This painting was created for impact. The yellow represents energy, hope and golden opportunity. The large floral bursts symbolize renewal, resilience, and beauty. There is a powerful energy in this large scale painting that activates the space in which it resides. It maintains a strong impression on the viewer from a distance as well as in the intimate details.
New work “Enter Spring” 6’ x 4’ acrylic, gold leaf, metallic paint, spray paint and oil crayon on canvas $32,000
I often use unconventional materials ranging from rescued closet doors to vinyl remnants with acrylic paint, spray paint, oil crayons and metallic pigments in order to create lasting beauty where there once was nothing.

Inspired vision into creative action.
In a world where children are told not to draw on walls, I feel lucky to have a career where I get paid to draw and paint on walls.

“Kelli Bickman is a wonderfully talented painter. She has an ease of technique, grace of arrangement and a depth of vision; her many series often portray nature symbols, along with universal or ancient elements in skilled, updated narratives. Her unique talent spans fine art and illustration, and we are proud to have her work in our collection.”
SOLD “Water is Life” 4’ x 12’ acrylic on wood - At the heart of Water is Life sits a crystalline form inspired by the work of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto. This crystal reveals the vibration of the word LOVE as seen under a microscope after a meditation—a reminder that intention shapes the very structure of our world. Flowing with lotus, koi, rain, and celestial cycles, this painting reflects renewal, harmony, and the sacred intelligence carried within water—and within us.

“People like Kelli help to make the world a better place. We are lucky to have such an amazing Ambassador to the Arts. Kelli’s zest for the arts and her community is infectious.”
Full transparency: Several of the images show my art in luxury rooms - some were AI rendered - The art itself exists in the real world, a tangible touch it, feel it, see it, made by hand over long hours of dedicated practice world. I love the genius of AI to render a room and show me possibilities I hadn’t considered. That said, many of these spaces are very real…the billboards, the walls, the rooms, the intimate spaces in which we spend our days and the public spaces we experience on the fly. The art is real and it has the power to transform and bring life to the environment in which it lives.
