Hi! I'm Cindy Atoji Keene, the hands (and occasionally glue-covered fingers) behind Keene crafts.

As a Japanese American artist and lifelong maker, I've always been fascinated by the stories that handcrafted objects can tell. In many Asian cultures - including my own - beautifully made things are treasured, shared, and passed from one generation to the next. That appreciation for craftsmanship, thoughtful details, and creating with care continues to inspire everything I make.

Each ornament, frame, sign, and keepsake is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in my Massachusetts studio using wood, resin, paint, reclaimed treasures, and mixed media. I love transforming everyday materials into one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate the game and the people who play it.

When I'm not in my studio, you'll usually find me exploring New England for inspiration, hunting for vintage treasures, or being supervised by my Portuguese Water Dog, Yoko, who takes her job as Chief Quality Control Officer very seriously (especially if snacks are involved).

Thanks for stopping by. I hope my creations bring a little extra joy to your home.
