Welcome!

Check out my portfolio to see my work. If you have questions, visit the contact page. To learn more about me, follow my Instagram @mia.kinshasa.art or visit the about page.

I am a multi-media artist currently based in Fort Collins, CO. My creativity is fueled by a deep commitment to sustainability, so I primarily work with second-hand and natural materials, thoughtfully transforming them into original, considered pieces. My work engages with questions of gender and the body while also fostering an inviting, safe space for reflection and dialogue. If you'd like to explore my artistic journey in more depth, I invite you to visit my Portfolio to immerse yourself in a curated collection of creations spanning several years. Alternatively, if you have questions, comments, or simply wish to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out through my Contact page.
