Hi I’m Kina and I am an artist based in Ottawa, Canada.
My life as an artist is an ongoing practice of lovingly reminding myself and others of our right to do what we love and the inherent value, beauty and bravery of this pursuit.
My practice is centred around personal and community play, messy magic and the untamed expression of our inner child and truest self.
I dare to create what brings me joy, and urge others to do the same.
