Unique. Unexpected. Customized. Elegant. Luxurious. Timeless.
Whether a Spoken Word Poetry Performance or a Custom Instant Poetry need, she will ensure all your dreams and expectations are met.
In a performance, she will curate a series of related pieces telling an authentic story based on your requested theme. She is emotive and expressive in her presentation and a storyteller at heart who loves to share the art of spoken word poetry.
Have a custom idea or request? She can accommodate that as well. Need 2 or 3 poets for an event? She has them contracted through her indie press and ready to join in. Need a photographer or videographer also? No problem. She has the best in the city ready to join in.
Due to her general writing content, her appropriate audience ranges from teens to adults (primarily 16+), but is not appropriate for small children. Political, polarizing, and religious content is not performed.
Think literary visuals. You will be left thoughtful, emotional, and with met expectations each time.
Thank you.
History of Kaytee, Glass Half Full Goth ®️
My love affair with creating began as a child spending every afternoon in my parent's floral and antique shop. As the only daughter of artistic parents with few limitations, my eyes were always able to see the beauty and potential in even the strangest things. On one trip to an auction with my parents, we came home with a rickshaw, a wicker coffin, a king’s sword and scepter, and a laboratory skeleton. Many days like that one fueled my sense of imagination and eccentricity.
Over time, my hands and mind have experimented with many forms of creativity that allow me to bring a feeling or an image to life through art that can be shared everyday with everyone around me. Having published multiple books with more on the horizon, the journey to combine words and images to master a “novel-in-poems” never ceases. Drawing from my past as a fine art fair jeweler, the desire to collaborate with other visual artists, photographers, and crafters is a form of hypnosis and it has me under its spell.
At this juncture of my life finding my own extraordinary side has been a journey and my stories are screaming to be told. It is with great hope that you may find a piece of my work that will inspire you to be who you are.
