Hello and thank you for choosing to learn more about my story!
My name is Keely and I’m an Australian performing artist based in Brisbane, Queensland.

As the daughter of two Adelaide gymnastics coaches, I was born to somersault and raised upside down.
My fusion of skills as a decorated gymnast with a decade of dance experience ignited my desire for a career as a Performing Artist.

I graduated at the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in 2015 and continued showcasing my specialties from circus school as a professional, touring New Zealand with Circus Aotearoa as a soloist on aerial slings, tight wire and group comedy acrobatics.

Upon returning to Australia, I began a new avenue of training to develop my stage presence skills through the art of tease and created my burlesque alter ego - Ariel Onyx. 
In 2021 I won burlesque competition titles for Burlesque Idol Australia, Nudie Nubie's Down Under, became an multi-international award winning nude model with Clear Image Photography and a 2020 Australian Photo of the Year award winner.
