Kait Mauro is a painter, photographer, and writer of radically self-sharing letters on Soft Ruins.
Their book of poems, Don’t Flinch, will be published in June 2026.
“A Gaussian blur of slowly becoming safely embodied. Their bold, beautifully textured paintings invite a deeper feeling into of both the light and the darkness inherent in being human.”
“There’s something about Kait’s work that draws you in without asking anything of you. It’s abstract, but it helps you feel your own depths, inviting curiosity and a gentler way of being human.”
“Kait’s work carries a piece of their soul, raw and refined in equal measure. Through abstracted landscapes—shape, color, texture—they offer something that is felt as deeply as it is seen.”
“They live with a rare kind of authenticity and honesty, and that same truth runs through their work. Their pieces come from the personal—something deeply political—and from a rich connection to self and life. Sometimes raw and gestural, sometimes more considered, but always from the soul.”
“Evolving out of a beautifully raw artistic practice, these works welcome us into their life with clarity, pose, and precision. Through an impressive span of media, Kait Mauro is a singular voice always looking for the next true thing to mirror back to us with openness and grit.
