Kalff’s figures are often set against expansive, twilight-toned landscapes. Her paintings explore the liminal beauty of dusk, where light softens and reality takes on a surreal edge. She uses soft, moody tones to create a sense of stillness, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the impermanence of time and memory.
In 2022, Kalff was featured in Southwest Art magazine’s “21 Under 31: Young Artists to Collect Now”. Her work has also been shown in American Art Collector magazine, Aesthetica magazine, and Studio Visit magazine. In 2023 she was listed as an “Artist to Watch” by Plein Air Magazine. Kalff’s paintings are in private and public collections, and have been shown at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art.
Kalff studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. She is currently based in Colorado, U.S.A.
