Kie, also known as Kieos/KieZeval is a Nelson-born artist who grew up in Hope, just outside of Richmond. Now residing in Oamaru, the self-proclaimed "Steampunk Capital," Kie considers himself an all-around artist with a strong foundation in graffiti, where much of his talent shines through. With 18 years of experience, he has traveled across the country, participating in events, competitions, and painting simply for the joy of it. Always eager to showcase his spray paint skills when the opportunity arises, Kie draws much of his inspiration from his environment and looks forward to seeing what his creativity will bring in the coming year, particularly at Twisted.
