Preview of Art: November 12th!

KOE DESIGN I Kayla Whitney is a full-time muralist since 2017, and has accrued a variety of experiences painting in that time  - painted max heights of 30 ft tall, and up to 120 feet wide.  She has painted interior and exterior, private and public. Whitney has made works The City of Toronto, The City of Hamilton and The City of Collingwood and collaborated with brands such as the LCBO, Holt Renfrew, The Globe and Mail and Call it Spring Shoes. And loved every minute of it!

Kayla loves the way art and community can work together and is passionate about her work, about community, and about bettering public spaces.  What began as a single mural at the Strathcona Market location evolved into a full scale brand identity project for MRKT Box. View Kayla's connection with the 3 MKRT Box locations!

Artist Statement I I love paint…almost too much.. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter what it is I am painting, as long as me and paint are hanging out. I love materiality - textures, colours, and weird happy accidents. I like to be challenged, I thrive in problem solving situations and I love the feeling of figuring out something new. I am a reformed perfectionist - but nothing pleases me more than a crisp line or a perfect design moment. I am detail oriented yet I love to ride the chaotic waves of creativity and impulse. Paint allows me to explore both of these sides, and it’s why I love working with it so much.

Beyond that, I believe in community building and like to put my art where my mouth is when it comes to contributing and giving back to communities, and working to help them thrive.
