First and foremost, Kendra operates as a maker, savoring the process. Her work inhabits a range encompassing textiles, fashion, and more, blurring the lines between art, design, and craft, which all intersect in her chosen media. Her practice emphasizes gracefulness, intentional materials, functionality, and conscientious construction.

Kendra’s overarching influences include theater, history (especially of costume and craft), elements of a distant Roman Catholic upbringing, and witnessing the effects of neuro-degenerative diseases on individuals close to her. In her work, Kendra attempts to translate scraps of her own worldly experience into something tangible and universal. She embraces the creative process as a means for individuals to connect to each other and remain present in the here and now.
