A vessel of sound
To explore the work of K. Cornelius is to let your mind and body float beyond the enclosure of this realm and fully submerge into the waters of extreme creativity and mind-altering expression. Originally from the WV/MD/DC area the artist now resides and creates in one of her favourite vibrant communities: Buffalo, NY.

The artist carefully explores the varied and vivid landscapes of creativity, spirituality, Shamanic Transformation, and inspiration. K. Cornelius is driven to create by a passion within, a desire to better the world from the inside out, and to open pathways to ears, eyes, minds, bodies, and souls.The instruments K. plays range from a whole world of musical territory and studies.
