Kaylie Kaitschuck (b. 1995, Dearborn, MI) received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2021. With a background in fiber and textile design, Kaitschuck's vivid and imaginative work embraces a tension between highly stylized drawing, "low-brow" aesthetics, and meticulous construction. The nature of the drawings, like scribbles in the margins of a textbook, evoke both the bucolic and carefree nature of an idealized adolescence as well as the very real and impactful anxieties and traumas associated with the teenage experience and growing up in the American Midwest.
