Description ‘Petrichor’, 2022 Kayla Rae of Kayla Rae Studio Mixed Media on Cotton Canvas, Framed in Tulip Poplar25″ x 40″ Inspired by the restorative powers of life after a fire that starts from deep within the forest floor. This piece illustrates the sweet memory of the first soak of rain as it percolates through the once charred earth- a welcome relief that comes after looking 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.
