Meet the father daughter artists: Kaidence & Ryan

Since a very young age, Kaidence has always expressed a natural inclination toward art. I began archiving her work once I realized it extended beyond the typical childhood creations—it was something deeper, more intentional.

In 2024, as I continued to develop my own artistic practice, I applied for and was selected as a PROOF Fellow at Zygote Press. During my time in the fellowship, I was introduced to new printmaking techniques that I later shared with Kaidence. Together, we began creating—exploring linocuts, monoprints, and screen prints inspired by drawings she made as a young girl.

This process became more than just art-making; it was a meaningful opportunity to connect, to learn from one another, and to nurture a shared love for creating. The work presented here is born from that collaboration—rooted in memory, growth, and the quiet moments of making together.
