Rainey King is a Kansas City-based multidisciplinary artist whose work blends industrial materials, folk craft, and storytelling. Rooted in a lineage of carpentry, welding, and labor, King explores resilience, memory, and survival through Mixed Media works.

Their art is influenced by years spent hitchhiking, working on farms, and cooking in professional kitchens—where making do with what’s available became a philosophy of creation. Whether working with found objects or wasted materials, King’s practice honors the beauty of wear, structure, and endurance.

A Resident Artist at AGNAS ARTS and a nationally exhibited artist, King is also a dedicated educator, storyteller, and activist.

King is currently expanding into large-scale sculptural work and solo exhibitions, exploring the intersections of labor, storytelling, and self-preservation while pursuing their MFA in Sustainable Design atthe Savannah School of Art and Design.
