About Me


Hi! My name is Ava Solot-Kehl, but I go by my middle name Tess. I am originally from San Francisco, California, where I lived until I moved to the East Coast to attend Wesleyan University in Connecticut. After completing my undergraduate degree in studio art and sociology, I moved to New York City. I am an artist and activist, interested in bringing digital media and interaction into the museum space. Having studied studio art and sociology, I know how important and useful art can be when teaching about and addressing social issues. In 2024 I completed a 12-month internship in the Met’s digital department and am excited to further my skills in making art more accessible, engaging, and impactful. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications program.
