About the Artist
How do you turn paper into food?
Hello! My name is Hali, and I’m an artist currently practicing on Potawatomi land in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Most of my artwork is created in the historic Edison neighborhood. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Gender and Women’s Studies as well as in Studio Art from Western Michigan University. I specialize in printmaking, fiber art, and papermaking.
Through traditional practices such as foraging, papermaking, and printing, I have developed an alternative book arts practice focused on ecological themes. My work gives voice to my curiosity and queerness while celebrating my community and honoring the knowledge passed down from my ancestors. I strive to show appreciation for the creative process through handcrafted pieces.
