Description ‘Dig Deeper’, 2022 Kayla Rae of Kayla Rae Studio Mixed Media on Cotton Canvas, Framed in Tulip Poplar25″ x 40″ May we find the courage to peel back the dusty layers and look inwards. This piece was inspired by the strenuous journey to seek what is unseen, “digging deeper” into our souls in search of the light within. Kayla was raised in paradise, known to many as Southern California. Since she was a child, Kayla shared a special connection with the environment. She found herself continually drawn to the complex interactions between flora and fauna found throughout her surroundings. As a 100% self-taught artist, Kayla learned to translate these very same environmental complexities she studied throughout her academic career into free-flowing, sophisticated works of art using just raw canvas, acrylics and resin. While most of her work is abstract, Kayla draws her inspiration from the flow of water and geologic features found just steps from her studio in Laguna Beach. The result- artworks that evoke a sense of serenity and familiarity found naturally in response to our peaceful surroundings.
