Cole Kennedy

Cole Kennedy was born in Overland Park, Kansas in 1996. Growing up, art was something he’d always been drawn to, which led him to Emporia State University where he attended from 2016- 2020. He triple majored in Glass Forming, Sculpture, and Printmaking. He focused on creating work that dealt with nature and the creatures that dwell there, and how the impact of humans has on the environment. His focus was on using recycled and found materials to fabricate the work, while using a bit of humor to get across his ideas. Working in a production shop refining hands skills and getting to fabricate large scale armatures and equipment. After the production shop he went to work at art centers which lead to the residency at Englewood Arts.
