About

Short Bio

Kiya is a Philadelphia based artist working with clay to create organic works of art inspired by interconnected forms found in nature.

Statement

My work is centered around meditative art practices inspired by connectivity, nature, and relationships. I believe that through art comes healing and understanding between people and the land in which we inhabit. I pursue work that I hope foster a  sense of peace, curiosity, and self reflection. 

My process draws from and relies on sensation, memory by exploring interconnected relationships between the body and forces in nature. By highlighting intricacies of the natural world  that I feel are often overlooked, I hope to draw attention to the connection and impact we have on our surroundings, and the resources within oneself to create change.
