About Claude + Fruity

Fruity Goods is the love child of Artist Claude Kenny's adoration for the tacky, campy, queerness of Traditional Americana aesthetics, and their desire to make their Art accessible to all. Pieces in this shop range from $5-100. 

Hi, I'm Claude. And yes, everything here is Art with a capital A, because I said so. 

I received my BFA in Painting from Herron School of Art and Design in 2019. I have worked in several capacities as an art teacher during and since my time there, including developing and leading a course on LGBTQ Art for tweens and teens at Herron Youth Programs. As a queer, trans non-binary, Jewish, neurodivergent and disabled artist, my work often plays with the pluralities and overlappings of my identities in my work while keeping it playful, relatable, and a little tacky. Indeed, my paintings and other works have been displayed in galleries and exhibitions allover the city of Indianapolis and beyond and sold for hefty price tags, but I like you all better than I like wealthy art snobs. So here we are.

Additionally, if you have interest in seeing the work I'm making beyond Fruity Goods or are interested in commissions, Instagram is a great means to do so. Thanks for stopping by, my gratitude is overflowing. Stay fruity!
