About Kalli

Indianapolis based painter, Kalli Bednarz, was introduced to painting the human figure in 2014 while receiving her fine art degree from Ball State University. In 2020, Kalli started to understand her sensitivities to energy and her work began to focus on the spiritual. At this same time, she began to regularly attend life drawing sessions at Lafayette Atelier where she cultivated her abilities to capture the essence of humans and study anatomy with her watercolors. Certified in Usui Reiki and active in the yoga community, Kalli is continually deepening her understanding of how our bodies hold innate wisdom. With an interest in historic ruins and visiting ancient sites herself like the Roman Baths, Chichén Itzá, and Machu Picchu; Kalli dedicates her life’s work in uncovering how these ancient themes may help us thrive presently as a human civilization.

“The work has become an excavation site. I am the archaeologist and the canvas crumbling stone. The paintbrush a tool to reveal what's hidden. These paintings are to drum up recognition within ourselves and to recall lost information of how we can thrive presently as a human civilization.” - Kalli
