Kaitlyn Brennan is based in Merrickville, Ontario, where she lives with her wife and three children. She creates playful, richly layered earthenware pottery with a strong focus on functionality and everyday use. Her work is vibrant and textural, often packed with surface imagery that ranges from the subtly symbolic to the humorously suggestive. Whether it's a mug adorned with queer-coded symbols or a plate brimming with narrative illustration, Kaitlyn’s approach is grounded in the belief that functional objects can carry personal meaning, joy, and connection — especially for those who recognize themselves in the details.

Kaitlyn’s pottery is tactile, layered, and maximalist in spirit, each piece invites daily use while offering deeper meaning to those who take the time to look closely. As an artist who identifies as queer, and neurodivergent, her perspective informs her work in subtle and significant ways — celebrating both individuality and community, humor and resilience, in every object she makes.
