Collin McKelvey is a San Francisco-based multimedia artist working primarily in time-based media. Utilizing found sound, field recording, digital processing and synthesis, McKelvey creates multi-layered compositions that are both familiar and hard to place.

McKelvey has shown work at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, Southern Exposure, Kala, Royal Nonesuch Gallery, ATA, The Luggage Store, Adobe Books, Human Resources, The Lab, Guerrero Gallery, the Berkeley Art Museum, The Geffen Center at MOCA and other artist spaces throughout the United States.
