Keely Angel is a multidisciplinary artist, musician and teacher of contemplative and embodiment practices.

She has been making art since childhood and is self-taught. Her recent explorations have been in gouache and mixed media collage.

In 2012 Keely began teaching meditation and yoga in New York City, and has since guided thousands of people of all ages and physical capabilities in experiences of mind/body integration. In 2020 she became the Program Director at Wellness at Work, helping bring wellness programs into the corporate world.

In 2015 she founded the textile design studio Collective Hand, which specializes in natural dyeing methods (using roots, flowers, kitchen scraps, etc). Keely dyes everything by hand in small batches, and most products are sewn by an amazing woman in Queens. She tries to create as little waste as possible, using fabric scraps to make various items including quilts, dolls, and lavender sachets.
