About | Kuki Studios

Kuki Studios is the home base for Kuki, a multidisciplinary mixed-media artist based outside Minneapolis, Minnesota. The studio produces original, one-of-a-kind works that explore balance, movement, and the quiet tension between restlessness and stillness.

Kuki’s work is built through layered materials, hand stitching, paint, and found elements - often shaped over weeks or months. Each piece is designed to hold presence in a space, revealing new details through time, texture, and light.

The Work

Recurring themes include water, open landscapes, and symbolic forms - particularly birds and sea creatures - as markers of motion, distance, and connection. Many works incorporate reclaimed or unconventional materials, and some rely on natural processes, including weather exposure, to create depth and variation that cannot be replicated.

Every piece is original. No editions. No reproductions disguised as originals.

The Studio

Kuki Studios functions as both a working studio and an online gallery. Available works include small and large-format mixed-media pieces, hand-drawn originals, and limited experimental releases.

The studio also supports select commissions, private viewings, and special collaborations.

Kuki Studios is a production of Alderfer & Smith, LLC, a bespoke creative collaborative co-founded by the artist.
