Kaci Shields

Currently based in New York, Kaci is an artist creating large-scale, mixed-media drawings and paintings.

Originally from Long Island, Kaci began oil painting at a young age. Initially, she focused on traditional portraiture, but she has since expanded into non-objective painting and a multitude of other mediums. Her current studio practice is rooted in automatic drawings and free association.

In 2018, she earned her BFA in interdisciplinary arts. Throughout her education, she experimented with sculpture, printmaking, and photography, incorporating elements from each into her painting process. Her interests in art history, the occult, and philosophy, along with her current work in human services, allows her interest in people to prevail in many different forms.
