Kaleeka Bond was born in Virginia and grew up in Southern California.  She received her MFA in 2008 from Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD) in Laguna Beach, CA and has been exhibiting her work in California since 1999.  Following graduation, Kaleeka went on to teach Fundamentals of Color and Color at LCAD. In November 2008, Kaleeka Bond joined the Fairhaven Committee which organizes the annual Fairhaven Mausoleum Art Exhibition. While continuing to exhibit work, Kaleeka and her husband look forward to the launch of their clothing line, Adinkra Clothing Company.

Influenced by behaviors in society and the impingement of mass media, she hopes to counter the effects of these disconnections with social awareness through her artwork. When interviewed about her work, Kaleeka stated: Art has a way of opening our eyes to things that we refuse to see.  I want my work to compel people to see beyond the superficial and seek the profound, ultimately allowing them to live beyond what they think of as the obvious and understand that individualism and the ability to communicate shape the uniqueness of the world.

Statement: My work explores the impingement of mass media by means of isolation in communication, stereotyping, and the loss of personal singularity, which inadvertently dominates the way we live. I hope to increase social awareness of how people divide others into categories and live their lives in a mold that someone else has created. In the decision to focus my work towards issues that may be neglected or ignored, I hope to counter the effects of mass media with social awareness.
