Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

Kimolee Eryn is an award-winning, multidisciplinary artist whose love of learning has empowered her to fuse elements from life and art to drive human-centered storytelling as an independent artist as well as a teaching artist. Kimolee's first creative mediums were poetry and short stories. As she grew in her artistry, she learned to allow her inspiration to dictate which form it wanted to take. Although Kimolee's primary medium is still writing— poetry, novels, theater reviews, screen, and stage plays— she still honors her inspiration, allowing it to materialize in collaborations with artists of many mediums. The inspiration that turned her into an all-around creator also opened the door to producing creative work for others. Her role as a producer has enabled her to assemble groups of talented and inspired artists to work together on creative pursuits with a shared goal of strengthening the creative community and connecting humanity through storytelling.
