Meet Kailey

As an artist, I’ve had a passion for creating beautiful pieces of artwork since I was a young child.  I was raised in the Heartland of America, but my soul now lies in the Sunshine State. Its landscapes provide a source of new inspiration to channel into my art pieces.

I hope to bring happiness to those who view and appreciate my work. I heartily invite you to explore my gallery and connect with me if you’re interested in purchasing one of my pieces or collaborating together.

Creativity has always been at the forefront of my being. It has been nourished along the way through every art teacher, professor, and family member. This would not have come to fruition without the amazing support of those around me. Art club with Mr. Heck (Arteageous with Nate), exploring the roots of Art in Italy with Mr. Larson, creatively pushed by Mrs. Evans, and being inspired daily by Professor Viewegh.

Also, having the privilege to deeply study the Italian art culture while abroad at Instituto Lorenzo de’ Medici. These experiences have shaped me into the evolving artist I am today,  finding my voice in a unique and simple style. This is just the beginning.

I find joy and peace in creating art, and I hope that my art can bring joy and peace to others as well.

With inspiration to bring innocent beauty to a world that can be complicated and uninviting, this work embodies the movement of art for art’s sake. Art is everywhere. It is forever present, changing, and multi-dimensional. My work halts transformation. It brings light to simplistic beauty. What is tangible, still, and present. Making art is a meditative process. Forcing me to be in the moment. Bringing the mind and body together. Past and future lose relevance.

I hope an experience similar to mine can be reached amidst this work. Quieting the chatter in the skull. Subsiding in the moment. These are the points in time that keep the inspiration alive.

Physically, oil paint composed into line and overlapped shapes represent these elements. Exposed linen canvas accentuates the forms, manifesting overall simplification. These mediums are traditional, yet unforgiving; like society. Markings have a purpose. Hues are bold. The basic entities of color theory push my instinctual individuality. Conceptions based on who I am, not who I think people want me to be.

With the purpose to paint in peace, joy, and light-heartedness., art has infinite perceptions. The question is, does my perception resonate with you?
