About
Kayleigh Christine Wold is a multi-media artist with a BFA in painting, photography, and printmaking. Her body of work is an ever-changing and evolving study that gravitates toward capturing emotion and imagination, whether in organic or abstract images. Kayleigh can often be found in her Pioneer Square studio in the TK Building which opens every month for ArtWalk.
Outside of making art, Kayleigh loves collecting and drying flowers, reading, and cuddling with her two rambunctious cats.
Artist Statement
My current figurative work explores emotion, intimacy, insecurities, and life by capturing poses in intimate settings. Forbidden moments, whisps of memory, vulnerable spaces, exposed skin, rips within flesh, matter growing in or out of them… all convey different meanings that pull at my heart. In a world being fueled by social media and the idea of perfection, I’ve been on a journey to rewrite my brain; redraw the unrealistic thin arms and legs, the tiny tummies, and instead let gravity happen. See beauty in realness and break through those ever-growing socially constructed barriers.
My current block prints often explore either more fantastical images and themes of imagination or goofy little critters screaming to bring fun and lightness to balance out the seriousness or darkness my figurative work can often hold.
In painting, I aim to capture movement, mistakes, surprises, and emotion with sweeping color and building layers.
