About the Artist
Chy is widely recognized as an interdisciplinary illustrator and designer. This reputation stems in part from their passion for incorporating a diverse range of media into their creative practice. Additionally, Chy experiments thoughtfully with the themes and content of their work, adding further depth and dimension. (Chy is pronounced like “shy.”) Born and raised in Hamilton, Ohio, they have spent their entire life in the state and currently reside in Maineville, Ohio. From an early age, Chy nurtured a strong desire to become an artist and has dedicated many years to honing and developing their abilities. During high school at Lakota West, they stood out particularly in their arts classes, showcasing natural talent and dedication. In 2016, Chy enrolled at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and graduated in May 2020, further refining their skills and expanding their creative horizons.
In September 2021, Chy began working at Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Starting in production, they quickly demonstrated a strong commitment to learning, moving through various departments to gain comprehensive knowledge of the ceramic industry. Over time, Chy took on roles designing and painting high-end vases and tiles, which are featured in the Rookwood Pottery Showroom. Their artistic practice continues to evolve, merging the skills they have gained into a multifaceted approach that includes painting, printmaking, digital work, ceramics, fiber arts, as well as poetic and comic book writing. Beyond their artistry, Chy is a talented designer who works on logo creation, document design, and collaborates with brands to craft compelling brand identities and voices that clearly communicate their clients’ messages.
