She holds a BFA with Distinction from OCAD University in Toronto, specializing in Drawing & Painting: Digital Painting and Expanded Animation. Kaeti’s art draws on cognitive science, process philosophy, and art history to explore how intangible experiences such as memory, sensation, and imagination take on visual and spatial form.

She is currently developing a new short film that continues the visual language of Carasoul, exploring the nature of prehension in relation to the primordial and consequent natures of the divine.
