Artist Info
Kaitlyn Renner was born and raised in Dickinson, North Dakota. She always had an interest in drawing. In high school, this interest in the arts grew, and she experimented with many different mediums such as ceramics, found-object sculptures, and painting. She found that she preferred charcoal because it can create a wide range of values and differing textures. Through the magnification of the minuscule using artistic form, charcoal has provided her with the opportunity to present the often tiny, yet fascinating, arthropods in a light they are not typically seen. Kaitlyn is majoring in Business Administration with a double minor in Accounting and Art.

Kyla Meadows was born in Oklahoma, however being a military child she moved all over before going to college at Dickinson State University. Art has always been a constant in her life and she has experimented with numerous mediums before falling in love with charcoal abstractions. Her main inspiration is Picasso, triangles, and fractals. Kyla believes that abstractions force the viewer of her art to think deeper than just surface level to find what really means to them. Although not currently attending DSU, Kyla plans to return to finish her degree in Art Entrepreneurship.

Our services can go wherever the crowd is and we also serve for catering formal events. We keep our trailer in operation year-round!
