Kelia

Kelia Ideishi is a model and artist originally from Philadelphia. She began modeling in her late teens but, disheartened with the fashion industry, stopped to pursue a degree in Art History. Kelia returned to modeling in 2018 with JAG Models, searching for an agency that more closely aligned with her values. Kelia’s photography examines the mystery and ominous beauty of the quotidian human experience and the natural world. Employing a diaristic practice, she seeks to decipher how the strange unknown informs our memories and the narratives we conceive from them. Currently, Kelia is turning her interests to filmmaking and is working on a screenplay for a short film. Beyond the visual arts, Kelia is also a former classical ballet dancer and plays the drums. She holds a deep love of music, cinema, and David Lynch.
