Though a California native, Kelly Vaagsland Wainwright actually grew up quite innocently immersed in the culture of small town, mid-western life; biking around barefoot & helmetless, waterskiing in the local lake, & performing "pom-pom" routines at local Friday night football games. She has since jumped out of her small town extensively travelling the globe, calling "home" to such places as: Holsbybrunn Sweden, Bozeman Montana, Eugene Oregon, Copenhagen Denmark, Amsterdam the Netherlands, Boulder Colorado, Cape Town South Africa, & Oakland California. She holds a Bachelor's of Interior Architecture degree and is now working as an artist, focusing on conceptual experiments, installations, and collaborations of unprecedented kinds.
