THE STUDIO.
Kenechi Studio is the creative practice of Bahamian artist and designer KENECHI. The studio exists at the intersection of fine art and design, where textiles become canvases and stories unfold through material.
MATERIAL MEMORIES.
A study of identity, craftsmanship, and emotion through layered surfaces of paint, textile, and gesture.
KENECHI is drawn to faces, postures, and gestures that reveal what words often conceal—subtle expressions that trace the line between vulnerability and resilience. Her figures are not merely subjects but vessels of memory, embodying the emotional weight of lived experience. Through an intuitive process, she layers pigment, fabric, paper, and found materials, allowing the tactile qualities of each medium to guide the composition.
Her work occupies a space between realism and abstraction, where representation gives way to suggestion. The surfaces she constructs—stitched, collaged, and painted—mirror the fragmented nature of identity itself. Each gesture of the brush, each fold of fabric, becomes an act of reconstruction, a way of piecing together selfhood from fragments of culture, memory, and emotion.
At its core, Kenechi Studio is an evolving dialogue between art, design, and narrative. It extends beyond the canvas into the realm of textile and object, where materiality and craftsmanship are not merely techniques but forms of storytelling. The studio’s work reflects an ongoing investigation into how cultural identity is performed, preserved, and reimagined through touch and texture.
Through exhibitions, collaborations, and interdisciplinary projects, Kenechi Studio creates spaces for reflection and exchange—bridging the personal and the collective, the intimate and the universal. It is a practice grounded in sensitivity and depth, one that invites viewers to look closer, to see the beauty in what unfolds quietly, layer by layer.

THE MUSES.
The Muses is a body of work that challenges conventional depictions of the muse in art history, reframing her as an active participant rather than a passive source of inspiration. Through a blend of painting, collage, and garment techniques, KENECHI explores the intersections of gender, power, and representation, drawing attention to the dynamics between artist and subject. The series invites viewers to reconsider the gaze and the shifting nature of creative influence.
STUDIO SHOP.
In the Shop, visitors can explore The Muses, a series of tapestries carefully crafted by hand, where painting and textile techniques intertwine to create layered, tactile narratives. Alongside these, small works—hand-painted studies on paper—are thoughtfully priced for early collectors, offering an intimate entry point into Kenechi Studio’s practice. Each piece, whether large or small, reflects the studio’s commitment to materiality, storytelling, and the quiet poetry of everyday gestures, inviting collectors to bring a fragment of this world into their own.
