Toronto based, New Orleans bred, ADHD inspired.
About Kyla
Kyla is a Toronto based, New Orleans bred Visual Artist with a passion for painting, intuitively 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 paintbrush. 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. Ultimately, Kyla hopes to inspire neurodivergent individuals to utilize their disabilities as positive and unique traits, rather than as setbacks in life.
Kyla received her BFA in Visual Art from York University in 2018 and officially launched her art business, Kyla Yager Artwork, in January 2020. She has been drawing and painting since early childhood, leading to a consistent art practice for over 20 years.
You can find her work in online publications such as Art Habens, Beyond Words, and The Button Eye Review. View her work in-person at On Task Studio and Riverdale Gallery in Toronto and at Fly Right Galaxy Gift and Studio in New Orleans.
