I'm Kaylie, an artist and art teacher based in sunny Florida

My art is a never-ending goal of portraying my world as I see it, often focusing on the coastal pulse I'm lucky to be surrounded by. There is a story behind each painting; all of my works are a glimpse into a day, a memory I want to bring to life. It's my way of journaling and remembering the sweet moments spent enjoying this life. It may be a fish we caught, a day spent on the water, or friends at the beach. Each piece takes me back to a moment in time—moments that reflect laughter with friends, a love for the water, and a sense of fun.

The flow of painting and shift in my perception is what keeps me creating. Keeping a limited palette and allowing the brushstrokes to remain loose is my favorite challenge. I've been creating for as long as I can remember. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Art and a Master's in Art Education, and now reside in Stuart, Florida.
