BIO

Working predominantly with photography, visual artist and teacher Jimeé Katelyn Hayes contributes their take on conceptual imagery themes through their ongoing practice. Hayes, born in 2000 in Washington, DC, takes influences from the counteract to the male gaze and applies it to their portrait photography. Hayes discovers inspiration in artists such as Naudline Clove Piere, Fka Twigs, the Popovy sisters, and Monique Yvonne Jones, who become her muses.
