ABOUT
Kennedy Malsch is an artist and educator from Northeastern Pennsylvania, living and working in New York City since 2021. She holds a BFA in Fine Art Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design and teaches art to students in grades 3K–8 at a local private academy.
Kennedy’s work begins with the belief that beauty is not assigned. A place, object, or moment does not need to be extraordinary to become meaningful. Attention has the ability to transform the ordinary into something vivid, intimate, and worth preserving. Her practice begins with intensely experiencing these moments, balancing a broadened perspective with sharp attention to the present.
Through photography, painting, and material experimentation, she captures, manipulates, and preserves traces of these encounters. She allows feeling, chance, and material to reshape what she observes, leaving the work somewhere between record and invention. Texture, surface, pigment, and gesture become evidence of both the encounter and the act of making.
This philosophy extends into Kennedy’s curatorial practice. She composes contemporary collections that feel tactile, atmospheric, and personal, bringing fine art into everyday life. Through her work, she hopes to encourage others to take ownership of their attention—to linger, to immerse themselves in a moment, and to find meaning in the ones they choose to hold onto.
