Kylee is a Canadian artist, living in Port Alberni, British Columbia. Her work is exhibited in several galleries around Vancouver Island and across Canada, with her paintings collected worldwide. Growing up with the constant exposure to her artist father, she picked up an appreciation and excitement for creating art. She completed the Fine Art program at Toronto's Centennial College in 2009. Since then, she has continued to develop her skills as a fine artist working primarily in oil on canvas.

Kylee’s art focuses on nature, stylistically ranging from realistic landscapes to more abstract paintings. She works with colour and form, often playing with opposites like curves and straight edges, or light and dark tones to create contrast within her work. Painting abstracted art allows her to escape from reality, creating something completely original from a place only in her mind. While she enjoys the freedom of expression involved in this process, it also brings her great joy to recreate the beauty that surrounds her using representational intricacy within her landscape paintings. 

Kylee is driven by the desire to see what she will create next as her work is continually evolving.
