My experiences and time spent in nature is what has inspired my work, this work. Our innate connection as humans with the natural world has brought me to create this piece. I’m a nudist and artist. I spend time with myself and fellow human beings in nature. I took this photograph of Kristen in Tulum after we met naked in the ocean under the full moon rising. This image, and all of my images, represent and remind me of everyday my everyday serendipity. I hope that the viewers will be reminded of our beautiful connection with mother earth: we are all one, born wild, we are the earth. I chose this subject matter because all of my work deals with the nude human figure in some capacity, focused on the relationship we have with the planet and other beings within this realm. The mixed media is an older passion of mine that I’ve begun to reinvent as a professional artist, utilizing found objects - animal parts - plants - crystals - combining them to create a representation of our world and the energies within. This piece is set on a wood panel, covered in a canvas print, combined with a rattlesnake (skin, tail, and head - that my family killed and skinned in order to protect from an attack), flowers, leaves, rocks, and crystals that I’ve collected on my journey over recent years. I cemented everything in place with resin… encasing the vibrations of these earthly items to create a powerful, energetic composition. This style is me, a representation of all things beautiful, natural and free.

Elsa Marie Keefe is an artist who explores body positivity through photography, mixed media collage, and book-making. Her complete immersion into the nudist lifestyle has shaped her creative practice. She integrates the figure into nature to comment on significant issues such as sexuality, societal oppression, spirituality, and the sublime. The large-scale pieces are rich in texture and vulnerability. By incorporating natural elements back into the artwork, such as bones, flora, crystals, and dirt, her process emphasizes the cyclical nature of our time here on Earth. Her work has been exhibited nationally and across the boroughs of New York City, including The Blue Gallery, New York; The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn; Ziome, Miami; and Ophelia’s in Denver, Colorado. She has been featured at Miami Basel, The Other Art Fair, SOHO House, and The Southampton History Museum. Recent interviews with the artist were broadcasted on TNT Radio and available to read on Northshore Magazine and Saatchi Art Blog. The three books published by Elsa are titled Born Wild, Delirium, and Salvation. Blending her commercial and personal fine art practices, Elsa partners with people and organizations to promote healthy naturist lifestyles. She facilitates women’s healing circles and collaborative photographic experiences alongside her art. Elsa Marie Keefe is based between Boston and the Hudson Valley of New York State and is available for conversation, collaboration, and commissions.
