Konstance Patton is an Indigenous American Artist, Muralist, Designer, and Historian based in New York City. She’s a member of The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians in Northern Michigan and grew up in Detroit. Her work includes street art, set design, fashion illustration, sewing, animation, and storytelling. She explores projects based on community restoration, beauty and adornment, and collaboration. The New School alumna attended the PECAH International Artist Residency in the Himalayas, with her art taking her to 21 countries.
Beautification, community healing, and education are on the forefront of her work. She is co-founder of artist collective, SoHo Renaissance Factory, where she works with a team of artists based in SoHo, NYC. They use public art to beautify and heal the city. SRF formed organically after the artists kept seeing each other on the streets painting plywood boards left behind by luxury brands who abandoned SoHo in the aftermath of the 2020 riots.
Konstance hosts the Oral History podcast FCKING REJECTS, interviewing creators and illustrating a portrait of each subject, and the Rejects Book Club podcast, where she reads fiction to help calm minds in the current time of global distress.
