She is also a graduate of Thomas Edison State University (TESU), where she obtained a 4.0 BA in Art, and of Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville (SIUE) with a BFA focused in drawing. Her primary focus is in Painting and Drawing. Kenz is a dancer, which influences her love of depicting the human figure and rendering ideas of movement amongst these topics. Dance is a powerful catalyst in Kenz’s work and often aids in her concepts. She believes that there is freedom and balance in dance, the same qualities she finds in art.
