Who, What, or Why is Ozmade Studio?

I’m Kayt and I’m an artist.

Currently, I’m focused on creating original sculptures, custom/art dolls, and OOAK misfit toys. I also periodically draw, sew, dance, make beaded costumes, and more.

I graduated with a BFA in drawing from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.

From 2001 to 2023 I lived in Japan, teaching English, studying, performing, and teaching dance. As a dancer, I took on the stage name of Ozma. I blogged and shared my dance musing, my art, my writings, and my life in Japan under the name Ozma of Japan.

In April of 2023, I returned to America to focus more on my visual art.

I needed an LLC name but ‘of Japan’ no longer fit me so I chose Ozmade.

How do I pronounce Ozmade?

There’s two ways it can be pronounced and I’m fine with both.

Oz-made as in made by Oz.

Ozma-de  (オズマで) which, in Japanese, would mean made by Ozma.
