Kayleigh (b. 1992) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Naarm (Melbourne). Kayleigh graduated with a first class honours in Interactive Arts from the Manchester School of Art and Design in 2014.
Kayleigh’s work focuses on the complex relationship between human and environment. Continually striving to understand herself in the world we live in, while highlighting the fragility of our degrading landscape and attempting to reconnect the two.
Her work lives in a state of metamorphosis between abstract and landscape. Exploring texture and mark-making in painting and ceramics creates an ever-changing field of intricate marks colour inter-play.
