Charis Fleshner is a mixed media visual artist who calls Colorado home, along with Goober cat, the best and worst studio assistant ever. Charis was accepted into University of New Mexico's MFA program under painting and drawing but rebelled against categorization and fell in love with soft sculpture there instead. She is inspired by the middle schoolers she currently teaches art and fiber arts to, color, play, fabric, and intersectional feminism.

Driven by curiosity and informed by design methodologies, her practice produces a variety of creative outcomes— including digital typefaces, discursive objects, public installations, and sewn sculptures. In all of her work, she is most interested in designing experiences which engender meaningful interactions and discussions. She’s fascinated by language, longing, history, gesture, and corporeality.
