About + Contact

Hi. My name is Ky Smiley and I am from Columbus, Ohio. I have resided there my whole life and it's been crucial to my understanding and artistic criticism of modern-day Black and queer-aligned issues. 

 Once I could view the world through a lens and create images in response, my passion manifested even more. 

I've been primarily working with family members as a way to understand my distinct perspective as it pertains to the intersectionality of my identity and place in society overall.
