ModernArtifact

a home for handmade design culture

ModernArtifact is a collection of handcrafted, one of a kind art pieces based in craft and culture. Each year we take on a new concept and weave it into the story of Modern Artifact. Modern Artifact collections are grounded in culture and history, and use design to create special pieces for your space. It is an amalgamation of the artist's background: African, American, actor, Oklahoman, craftsman, Italian, artisan, director, Southerner, writer, stylist, Midwesterner, all with a little New York swagger.

She notices the beauty in her natural surroundings and attempts to elevate it through art and craft of different cultures. ModernArtifact is Keia's present reflection on craft and technique passed through generations. All of Keia's pieces are handmade and hand dyed in SE Portland. Keia also does installations, is an avid gardener, and acts in music videos on occasion.
