Kelsy Patnaude: Visual Artist + Sailor
Dec 19, 2020•30 min
Episode description
Meet Kelsy Patnaude. Kelsy is a Visual-Artist with an M.F.A. in Visual Art from Lesley University of Art and Design, Cambridge, MA. which she earned in 2019. Kelsy also has a B.A. in Studio Art and a Minor in Art History from Salve Regina University here in Newport which she earned in 2012.
A professional sailor, Kelsy came to sailing a bit later than some, but has had many great experiences including sailing on a classic gaff-rigged Colin Archer out of Falmouth in the UK; sailing as crew on a classic 12 meter in Newport; sailing aboard classics in the Caribbean; and most recently, racing aboard a Shields she acquired with some friends.
Kelsy explains how sailing, the sea and gender roles influenced her art - and ultimately her thesis. That thesis is 'Thalassic: Women, Gender, and the Sublime in Relation to Marine Art.'
All of this can be found on her web site kelsypatnaude.com
I also encourage you to check out her Instagram account - @kelsypatnaude - which features not only some of her art and photography, but also some of her creative adventures such as being towed on a surfboard from the topping lift of a classic yacht as it sails along, and being towed on a surfboard by a horse running on the beach. Kelsy explains how she conjured up both of these adventures and convinced others to go along with it.
