Hi, I'm Kyra!
I’m an artist from rural northeast Kansas. I grew up with a love of drawing and a curiosity about the inner workings of the natural world. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing and painting from Washburn University in Topeka, where I developed an interest in combining illustration and ceramics. My work explores themes of flora and fauna, the importance of biodiversity, and the relationship between humans and the natural world.
I currently create artwork from my home studio while also managing a small hospitality business with my family. My work is exhibited nationally, online, and at local art fairs. I’m an active member of my town’s art council and am passionate about making art more accessible to rural communities.
Each ceramic piece I create is completely handmade, from the form to the carefully carved illustration on the surface, inviting the viewer to slow down and closely observe the environment that inspires me.
