How can we work together? Let’s count the ways.

What I Offer

From large-scale community events to backyard birthday parties, Kiki Knows Art brings your creativity to life.

  • From crafting at your local public library to engaging with exhibits at the downtown museum, I can lead workshops, drop-in tables, and more to help bring the community together in the name of art & creativity.

  • Want to step up your next party or event with a hands-on experience? I’ll tailor a craft or skill to facilitate that matches your theme, giving guests a fun takeaway they won’t forget.

  • Tours, drop-in tables, special events, and more! With partners like The Amon Carter, Dallas Museum of Art, and The Nasher, I love to put my skills to work as a guest artist, educator, and/or facilitator.

How it works

It starts with creative connection and ends with the magic of making something together. Reach out today and we’ll craft your next event!

  • Are you looking to host a customized creative event or hire a guest artist? Do you have a gazillion scraps of fabric with no home? Not sure what you need but would love to work together? Fill out this handy contact form and I’ll get back to you within 1-2 business days.

  • After we get an idea of your creative needs, I’ll share a quick proposal for approval, then we’ll start the planning process. I’ll source any needed materials, create a craft or curriculum tailored to your project, and make sure all the details are in place.

  • This is the part where I show up with my magic bag of supplies and creative energy to spare! Prepare to unlock your inner artist.

  • Kiki was given to me by my sweet niece. 💖

    My auntie name was going to be Aunt Kiwi but morphed into Aunt Kiki and I’m not mad about it.

    Why Kiwi, you ask? That’s a whole other story, ha.

  • My favorite thing of what I’ve made lately is a leather portrait of Cousin It framed in a repurposed thrifted mirror. 🤓
