According to legend, Kira Saks is an interdisciplinary artist studying printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. Originally from Los Angeles, CA, they grew up going to gallery shows in the Lowbrow and Dark Art scenes, and have been looking at and making art for as long as they can remember. They have shown work at The Dark Art Emporium, Gallery 30 South, as well as several RISD-affiliated galleries in New England, and have participated in print exchanges with PVD Printmakers and Southern Graphics Council International.

   Kira’s work explores queerness, folklore and memory through the use of tactile processes. Above all, they love storytelling and exploring new ways of making, and hope to help make traditional printmaking processes more accessible to artists. Their interests include sustainability, anti-capitalist ways of living, ghost stories, cryptozoology, and weird animal facts. They’ve most recently been spotted running through the woods near a cemetery, but their existence has yet to be verified.
