Sleetia Kelsey (1943-2023) was a Jacksonville-based artist whose creative life spanned multiple mediums, including painting, spinning, and knitting, reflecting both technical skill and a deep appreciation for craft traditions. Born in 1947, she developed her artistic voice through nature-inspired landscapes and wildlife imagery before transitioning into portrait work and eventually operating her own studio. Her art was closely tied to her personal values—she frequently created handmade garments for family and charitable causes and remained active in her local arts community as both a volunteer and mentor. Beyond her artistic practice, she was deeply involved in community and church life, using her creative talents in service-oriented ways.
