About me
Khalil Dennis (They/She) is a Transfemme Jamaican-American artist, poet, writer, and organizer currently residing in Chicago, IL. Beyond receiving their Bachelors in Saxophone Performance from the University of Kentucky, Khalil has cultivated a multidisciplinary career that includes Graphic/Illustrative art inspired by their love of manga, animation, and horror, their work showing appreciation for surrealism, sexual & radical liberation, & silliness.
In addition to being a visual artist, Khalil is a poet whose recent work explores their first-gen upbringing and childhood amnesia, recontextualizing the truths found within mundanity as they salvage their experiences growing up in rural Georgia; they are particularly moved by stories of familial intimacy and survival, identity, and nationhood suppression.
