"An art & textile design studio that showcases the founder's love of bold color, pattern and heritage crafts."
K’era is a Los Angeles-based mixed media artist and textile designer.
Having previously launched a photographic derived textile company with a fellow designer, K’era desired to return to the art of making by hand without the aid of digital and hi-tech tools. Her mixed media work is heavily influenced by tribal/global textile surface design and mark making. She considers the act of ‘’piecing together’’ her collaged paintings that include found paper sourced from magazines, newspapers and books as well hand-painted paper much like the process of quilting together a story.
K’era graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in textile design.
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"My process is unique in the fact that I don't work from sketches or studies. I generally never have a plan of a final piece and allow my intuition to guide me each time I enter my studio to work."
