Originally from San Diego, California, Kayle Hatfield is a Minneapolis-based sculptor. She earned a BFA in Sculpture and Ceramics and a BA in Psychology from Alfred University in 2024. She is currently working as a program assistant at NE Sculpture | Gallery Factory, a Teaching Artist with WOW Mobile Metal, a gallery installer at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and is a member of the 2025 NCCCIAP Steering Committee. Outside of work, she is an emerging multi-media artist who works primarily in cast metal and ceramics. Kayle’s work explores the idea of play inside the gallery space, inviting her viewers to engage with her work tactilely and playfully. She hopes to pursue her MFA to push the limits of her current practice.
