About KRS Art

Art rooted in Middletown, shaped by community, and built to travel well beyond it.

KRS Art is built around the belief that public-facing art should do more than fill a space. It should reflect the people around it, hold meaning, and leave something lasting behind.

Kendall

Raised in Middletown. Still painting with that place in mind.

Kendall is a muralist and visual storyteller whose work is deeply rooted in Middletown, the place that raised him and continues to shape his creative voice. What began in his hometown has grown into a larger mission: transform public spaces into powerful reflections of community, culture, and connection.

Through bold color, movement, and intention, Kendall Soliwoda's work speaks to something bigger than art. Each piece is designed not just to be seen, but to be felt, creating environments where stories live on walls and identity is honored out loud.

The Studio

KRS Art is built through vision, execution, and a lot of trust.

Alongside his partner Chantell McDaniel, Kendall has built more than a business. Together they have built a platform that turns ideas into impact and art into something people carry with them.

Co-founder • Strategy & Client Experience

Chantell leads strategy and client experience while helping guide the conceptual direction of each project. She helps keep the work organized, communicative, and aligned with the bigger picture.

What they build together

Shared Vision • Strategy, Artwork & Delivery

The studio works by merging creativity with follow-through, so the experience feels as strong as the finished piece. That balance is what turns murals and public art into real impact.

Mission

From Middletown to wherever the work travels next, the mission stays the same.

Create art that matters, in places that need it most. Whether the work stays close to home or travels farther out, KRS Art is still focused on making spaces feel more connected, more visible, and more alive.
