Piece description from the artist
"Sky Quilt" is a tapestry of impressions. The motifs stitched together in this digital illustration are linked by time and space, each referencing a specific memory or observation. The resulting "quilt" is not representative, but it is my way of making a portrait that is more evocative than a literal portrait would be.
Kit Collins (she/her) is a public artist, muralist and illustrator. Since 2018, Kit has painted more than 40 murals, including more than 25 public art commissions for communities across the Northeast.
In between commissions, Kit enjoys developing new mural concepts, writing, and working with illustration clients, which have included Brooks Running, the Conservation Law Foundation and the Charles River Regional Chamber.
Kit loves opportunities to combine her two passions of community organizing and public artmaking, and is always on the lookout for opportunities to fold meaningful public participation and community engagement into her projects and commissions. She recently completed her second term of office as a City Councilor for Medford, MA, during which she served as its Vice President.
Kit originally hails from upstate New York. She graduated from Tufts University (Medford, MA) in 2015 with a B.A. in Peace & Justice Studies. Kit is currently based in Ann Arbor, MI and will travel anywhere for a good mural wall.
