BIO

Born Shoalhaven, Australia 1989 . Lives and works on the Sapphire Coast , NSW

Kyla Stones practice is led by her Philosophical attitude towards life . Kyla works primarily with watercolour and gouache, to capture the essence of an idea onto paper.

A painter of the feeling or energy of her subject , above all else. Stone is obsessed with what it means to be human, with body language, with the little glimpses of vulnerability she discovers out in the world, that tell a more Universal story.

The Muses that are omni present in her work are women and nature. Stone is interested in the sensual interaction between the two , but also the spiritual experiences found in nature .

Stones recent work is primarily interested in examining the cause and effect of the human to nature relations. Especially focusing on the psyche of the earth and its creatures, gaining inspiration from her daily wanderings in the Sapphire Coast.

Forever leaning towards an eco-feminist stance in her ethereal watercolours; the new work emerges out of deep listening, a deeper knowing and loving of the planet.

Kyla has been exhibiting in solo and group shows since 2008.

Education : Bachelor of Visual Arts with distinction, University of Wollongong. 2014

Prizes : Finalist in NOW Contemporary Prize, Shoalhaven Regional gallery , 2019.
