Bio

Kyle earned his BFA from the Art Institute of Atlanta in 2004, originally focusing on computer animation. Not long after graduating, he found himself more drawn to the freedom and creativity of fine art. While working at an art supply store, he developed a deeper interest in painting and connected with a vibrant local art community.

During his time in Atlanta, Kyle showed his work in several fine art galleries and participated in exhibitions across the Southeast. In 2010, he joined a group of professional artists to continue learning and growing his fine art practice.

He relocated to Seattle in 2014, where he now creates bright, expressive abstract paintings full of color, movement, and layered texture.

 

Artist Statement

I make abstract paintings that focus on color, movement, and shape.

My process usually starts with bright, layered colors, and I build the piece as I go. Adding, editing, and finding a balance between bold and soft, structured and loose. I love working with vibrant colors like hot pinks, bright yellows, and pastel blues that bring energy and joy into the work.

Lately, I’ve been especially into painting playful, abstract florals. They give me a chance to experiment with organic shapes in a light, unpredictable way.

More than anything, I just want my work to feel good to look at. Something that catches your eye, lifts your mood, or makes you stop for a second.
