Visiting Artist One-Day Workshop
About The Visiting Artist: Kini Collins
Kini Collins is a Baltimore-based multi-disciplinary artist and writer. Through many years of studying, mastering, and teaching a range of martial arts both in the US and Japan, she honed her philosophy that discipline and desire are as important as talent and that failure is a misnomer.
After an injury halted her ability to continue practicing martial arts, Kini turned her philosophy and her attention first to editing and fiction writing, then to visual arts. She began her art life with learning to draw as a way of developing her observational skills as a writer, but soon realized that art-making itself was another avenue open to her creative practices. She has since extended her visual work in different media, including clay/ceramics, painting, sculpture, and collage.
Kini continues to work as a visual artist and writer, exhibiting her artwork locally and nationally. In 2022 her novel, The Singing Bowl, was published by Spuyten Duyvil Press.

I have long been fascinated with ecotones, places where two different environments meet, interact and integrate -- marshlands, estuaries, field/forest, ocean/shore. When our house was being renovated we ended up with a lot of scrap wood. Not wanting to just chuck it out, it led me to a series I called LandSCRAPes, using the wood to depict wetlands. I cut, tore and ripped up sections of molding, bead board and lath, attached them roughly to a backing board, then finished them with acrylic paint.
Working from a memory of an ecotone you have visited you will create an assemblage using recycled materials. We provide backing boards, a whole lot of scrap wood, paint, hardware and tools. If you have any scraps that you value and would like to use you are welcome to bring them too.
