Ennis is a Korean-Canadian process artist rooted in omni-channel storytelling. Her practice embraces as many mediums as possible. Digital architecture, painting, 35mm film, alternative performance, more. MORE! Anchored by a commitment to high-concept pop art with sharp injections of humor. She often designs obscure identities that unfold over extensive periods, culminating in ritualistic acts of release.

Trained as a Suzuki violinist, Ennis' earliest influence was classical music. She dropped out of high school to art direct a lifestyle magazine and persue photography. Her first gallery show at age 19 was co-produced/sponsored by Agent Provocateur in Vancouver.

Ennis is highly nomadic with preference for metropolitan cities. She moved to New York immediately upon graduating magna cum laude from Savannah College of Art and Design (2015, B.F.A. Graphic Design). Working for innovation and marketing agencies during this phase highly informed strategies for her creative world-building in fine art a.k.a. the space between personal brand architecture and phygital abstraction.

Her genesis oeuvre is Realest. An independent thesis of American Hip-Hop and Black Culture. Beneath its photo-ethnographic exterior is a tandem narrative. Adventures of young woman coming of age in the big city, clawing through corporate America. She marries a man with a curse, discovers self-love and an appetite for embracing discomfort.

Realest ushered in Manifesto 1.0. A creative decade documentating Ennis shift from an introvert behind the lens via method acting, sitting deep in feminine energy, developing characters like 🎾ㅃ (TENNISBALLBB) THE #FOODPORNSTAR and a "Professional Muse for Geniuses".

Checking in at the end of 2023, Ennis was ruminating on changing her full legal name as part of an ongoing theme in identity. She was very cheerful to be wrapping up a collection of love stories.

Her next focus is vlogging the journey of ego death, writing Manifesto 2.0 and finally honing in those mothering skills to adopt a tabby cat asap.

  • excerpt from

    “An Introduction to Process Art (Or, How Minimalism Went From Pretty to Gritty)”

    The common refrain, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” could make a perfect catchphrase for Process Art. A movement that arose in the 1960s and '70s and has since expanded in definition to describe a general philosophical approach to making art, Process Art places its emphasis on the process and act of artistic creation rather than the actual finished work that comes out of it.

  • This is an umbrella term that gives Ennis plenty of flexibility to work with personal brands (influencers, celebrities, etc), or work personally (1-on-1) with brand founders to foster growth in business/personal areas through consulting/coaching.

    Ennis has worked with the full of spectrum of businesses from suburban mom and pop shops to fast paced start-ups, Fortune 500 companies, B2B, B2C, D2C and WEB3.

    Some favorites memories include the early days with Sir Kensington’s and branding a global fitness franchise called Rumble Boxing. At the time she hated it but in retrospect, being part of the team that redesigned all of Johnson & Johnson’s baby product labels to the now tear shape was a great opportunity. (Browse personal archives for more).

    After a long round of food/CPGs, Ennis turned her attention to developing the founders themselves instead of their businesses, through life coaching, which eventually morphed into the concept of personal brand architecture that incorporates all of the above.

  • No base atm but exploring a city to plant roots in. She goes wherever, whenever, usually very last minute.

  • Ennis made every graphic, took every photo and coded every line by hand with pure love! (unless credited otherwise)
