Hi! I’m McKinna

and I’m so happy you’re here.

A woman in a white skirt and sleeveless top walks on the beach with her arms outstretched, holding a seashell in her right hand, near the shoreline with small waves, during sunset or sunrise.

kin house studio is not a physical place - but (metaphorical) house to home a multitude of creative outlets.

I’m an artist, a photographer, a yoga/movement instructor, a thinker & maker at heart. Each offering feels a unique opportunity to interface with the world with a little more curiosity, a focus on presence, and simple celebration of being.

The search for light, the connection of breath to body, the object formed -all expressions of this curiosity filtered into embodied creativity.

I hold pop-up events, lead yoga/movement classes, photograph cherished moments, and create artwork in various mediums and disciplines.

Whether it be guiding your movement or capturing your moments - I am grateful you landed here.

in gratitude,

McKinna

a touch more in depth and length -

I have a Masters degree in Fine Art as well as a Bachelors of Fine Art degree, both with a specialization in Photography. I photograph, sculpt and weld; I grow crystals, I build installations, I record the passage of time, and am a sponge to learning new things. I have attended artist residencies in Berlin and New York City, and exhibited work in many places.

I am a certified yoga and barre instructor. Stemming from 12 years as a competitive athlete, tuning movement of the body has been a lifelong undercurrent of learning, growing, and adapting. I have worked in hospitality for over 10 years from high end cocktail programs in Boston, to a French Creperie on Anna Maria Island, an all-day cafe in Nashville, and street tacos from Tampa to Boulder.

I love to dance in my living room, and am a big believer in the wearing many hats while donning a bag of many tricks.

My hope and goal is that this is a genuine, accountable flow of creative output and energy which allows for change and adaptation.
