“If I’m too much, they gonna have to find less”
Everyone wants to fit in, it’s human nature, but some of us aren’t meant to. Some of us are designed to be outsiders and that’s not a negative.
We are the creatives, the carvers of new paths, the inventors and the daredevils that bring change, passion and colour to this world.
When we filter and obscure our essence seeking conformity over individuality, we risk losing our identity and direction all together. By embracing the Outsider within, we shape our own life in alignment with our authentic self. We avoid blindly following the siren song of what society tells us we should do or be. To become whole, we need to walk away from old conditioning, free ourselves from cultural expectations, and disregard the need for external approval.
I’m done making myself more palatable to the masses. This is my weird ass Aquarius, outsider self .. eat it up 🍽️🌶️

My name is Kaileigh.

Art
_______________________
I create bold and vibrant illustrations seeped in positivity with a mild dose of surrealism and maximalism.
Last year, I left my job in interior design to rediscover my passion for art and become an independent creative. My work is strongly influence by this transition and explores my emotion states of navigating a new life path. I playfully address themes of mental health, anxiety, transformation, and growth. My art aims to be relatable, vulnerable, honest and upbeat. With imagery, I expose my inner voice and insecurities to encourage self care, connection and authenticity in others.

I have a BFA in Drawing and Painting from Concordia University. I'm also a certified Interior designer through the New York Institute of Art and Design. I've been classically trained in visual artists from a young age and have a strong understanding of colour, form, perspective and anatomy. I've worked in a multitude of creative industries including textile manufacturing, fashion, graphic and interior design. I've explored performance, videography, installation and print medias.
