Kenzie began her artistic journey with oil painting in 2005. Already an avid artist in other mediums, she quickly mastered oil painting, earning national recognition within a year. Her passion for art and helping others led her to move from small-town Kansas to Omaha, Nebraska, where she pursued a Bachelor%u2019s degree in Social Work and began a Master%u2019s program in Counseling. To support herself through school, Kenzie worked as a carpenter, muralist, and commissioned artist. These roles honed her diverse artistic skills and eventually led her to discover a love for photography. In 2019, she founded The Copper Fox Studio, a creative venture that allowed her to merge her passion for various art forms with her exploration of emotion and connection.In just a few years, Kenzie%u2019s powerful storytelling and artistic background have garnered widespread attention and numerous awards at both the state and national levels.

Pouring ourselves into our work as acts of connection%u2014whether it%u2019s love, pain, inspiration, or healing%u2014is incredibly meaningful. Art is aimed to make you feel. Where we create, we connect. That%u2019s where I find purpose.%u201dThrough The Copper Fox Studio, Kenzie continues to push the boundaries of her craft, creating emotionally resonant works that inspire and connect with her audience on a profound level.Kenzie HunterTexas PPABest of Show, Best Illustrative overall,Best Illustrative Artistically Enhanced,Best Illustrative Fine Art, (2) Judge%u2019s Choice Award, (3))Texcellence AwardsAmerican Society of PhotographersJudges Choice AwardInternational Photographic Competition/Imaging USA1st Place Digital Illustration (Diamond)4th Place Illustrative Portrait (Diamond)Nebraska State PPAPresidential award, Photographer of the year.
