Meet the Artist: Kelcey Foster

A Syracuse artist who works in watercolor, clay and wood. Kelcey Foster sketched three of the Inkkas booties, and the drawings are very nearly as good as the shoes.

Creativity is something that lives in all of our souls. And that creativity brings us together! We at Inkkas had the pleasure of collaborating with an amazing artist named Kelcey Foster, and we are ecstatic that she shared her beautiful and colorful sketches of three of our Inkkas Booties: the Rooster, the Savannah and the Prickly.

Kelcey Foster's watercolor sketch of an Inkkas bootie

The latest drop from our Ethos Collection contains four beautiful booties, among other Inkkas styles. These booties are special because there isn't anything quite like them in our repertoire. The Brown Leather, Rooster, Savannah, and Prickly booties have changed the game for summer and fall fashion, and the response from our Inkkas fam is out of this world. When Kelcey sent us photos of her artistic process, we could not have imagined a better way to showcase them, each shining in its own unique glory.

The Brown Leather bootie is inspired by our classic Brown Leather camping boot, and has a traditional Peruvian textile that makes this bootie remarkable.

Watercolor sketch of the Inkkas Savannah bootie in grey suede with a floral panel

Perfect for date night or any casual outfit, the Savannah bootie features smooth grey suede and a colorful floral panel that brings life and energy everywhere you go.

Watercolor sketch of the Inkkas Rooster bootie in black with pink, red and green

An Inkkas fan favorite is the Rooster design, which is inspired by the national animal of Sri Lanka, the Ceylon junglefowl. The pink, red, and green tones on this style pop against the overall black of the bootie — no wonder it's a bestseller.

The Prickly bootie brings the fun into any room with its light-hearted cactus design and tan suede.

Kelcey Foster's finished drawing of the Inkkas booties

The Rooster, Savannah and Prickly booties were so wonderfully captured by Kelcey in her sketches. A big thank you goes out to her for sharing her process, and to all of you amazing artists out there. By sharing your creativity, you bring us all together.
