"Keeler’s work draws from daily walks through California neighborhoods
and desert terrain."
Keeler's paintings, murals and sculptures are inspired by daily walks through California neighborhoods. The vivid colors of flowers in front gardens, a glimpse of a swimming pool through a side gate, the massive boulders of Joshua Tree and the curves of a cul de sac are abstractly captured in the Road Maps and Color Maps series. Deeply influenced by the contemporary and classic architecture and design she see's on her walks and how the natural and built environments intersect in ways that can be in harmony or in conflict.
There are specific shapes and symbols that populate Keeler's paintings and sculptures. Circles, arrows, even hands and feet show up at times in unexpected places and in sometimes strange colors.
