With oil paintings that look like memories, Kayla tells a story with each new artwork, finding a little bit of magic in everything—even if that’s just a bathroom.
She has exhibited at prestigious exhibitions including the Royal Society of Oil Painters, The Royal Hibernian Academy, The Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Royal Ulster Academy, The Society of Graphic Fine Art, and is an exhibitor and member of The Society of Women Artists and the Dublin Painting & Sketching Club. She has received awards including the Young Artists Award (RSMA), Editor’s Choice (SWA), and featured in the International Artist magazine.
You can find Kayla’s paintings in local galleries in Ireland, including The Doorway Gallery, The Killarney Gallery, Rosslare Gallery, and Kilkenny Gallery. In the UK, you can find her work in the Art & Horse Gallery.
