Makenna Schibler

I am currently a fourth year student attending Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in the Fine Arts track. My practice while in school consists mostly fiber based with tributes to accompanying materials such as stoneware, paint, and glass. I sell my works through my website and exhibiting in galleries. Currently, I appear part time as a brand rep and visual merchandiser at Altar'd State an Arula.

Through the end of January ‘25, I am an intern for the artist in residence Heidi Parkes at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Parkes is a full time artist and in the internship she is aiding me through what it looks like to be a full time working artist. Together we update her website, work on instagram posts, work on pieces of artwork, and provide an expirience for the guests at the Pfister Hotel.

In my other part time, I work as a brand rep and visual merchandiser in retail. I’ve been with this brand for almost half a year.

I am currently enrolled as a fourth year in the Fine Arts track at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. I am set to graduate in May of 2025 with a BFA in Fine Arts/New Studio Practice.
