Kyla Yager is a Toronto based, New Orleans bred visual artist who utilizes her ADHD and mental health to intuitively guide her paintbrush. Kyla has been creating since early childhood, received her BFA in Visual Arts at York University in 2018, and completed OCAD’s Fineline Business Accelerator Certification in Summer 2023. She has been exhibiting professionally since early 2020 having been featured in juried art fairs, gallery exhibitions, publications, and Nuit Blanche 2023. She begins her process by playing with paint (acrylic, sometimes ink), and then subconsciously highlights hidden imagery within the medium. Repetition and pattern are her stimming, which adds to her maximalist signature style.
As a full time artist, Kyla facilitates intuitive art workshops, does live painting and face painting at events, paints murals, and loves collaborating with other artists. To learn more about Kyla, join her email list, or follow on socials, you can do so here: https://bio.site/kylayagerartwork
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Kyla has a passion for painting, portraying emotions and mindsets through her work. Struggling with ADHD and Mental Health, Kyla uses these as a tool to create her compositions. As her thoughts move a mile a minute, so does her paint brush. Use of hyper-detail, layering, and hidden imagery within her work tricks the eye into multiple perspectives, leading each and every viewer to see something different depending on how they look at it. Viewers may notice eyes hidden within the abstract patterns. These are eyes of empathy, encouraging viewers to unmask and connect with the artwork. Ultimately, Kyla hopes to inspire neurodivergent individuals to utilize their disabilities as positive and unique traits, being their truest, most genuine selves.
