KAYLA 'K' (SOUL SEED SERIES)

When I look at my signature body of work, I see an unfolding hero's journey. There are windows to the past, there are anchors to bring you back to the present. Some weave memories with energy and emotions. The spirals anchor you in the chaos & float amongst clouds of calm washes of colour

I began to wonder what was happening behind those moments of calm and that’s where my Soul Seeker Series came from.

After this, I turned my eyes to the spirals themselves. I wondered what I would find if I zoomed in & dug deeper. What stories did they hold in themselves? Usually they were one of many characters in my epic paintings. But what would their spin-off solo album be about?

This became the genesis of my SOUL SEED SERIES.
These spirals revealed themselves full of personality and a deep history of memories and stories. So the names also just come to me like treasures that float up from a mystical well. Like the names that you give your babies, when you just KNOW this is THE name

I can’t wait for these seeds to blossom & enrich the stories in their new homes

p.s These SOUL SEEDS are not named after anyone I may know IRL.

FROM CARDS TO CANVAS Brenda began her creative life as a graphic designer for one of the biggest greeting card companies in the world, where she nurtured her love of colour and composition. However, 4 years into her dream design career her inner calling to paint could not be silenced.
Leaving her career behind, she had her first solo exhibition in 2011 and boldly launched her new life as a visual artist in full colour. --- Brenda's work is a dance of colour, soul & imagination. Sometimes they whisper an invitation to explore its hidden details. Sometimes they are a chaotic story of struggle as the abstract nature battle with organic & figurative forms. Shaped by change, experimentation & questions raised in her musings & meditations, Brenda also credits her past life as a designer in the creative process. .
"The depth and subtlety of colours, play of pattern and detail are born from my designer instincts... purposely designed to evoke visual & emotional reactions." .
On the other hand, Brenda also depends on her intuition and the inspiration of the moment to take over. Allowing the painting to emerge naturally, often changing course along the way. Applying multiple layers of free flowing colour with organic shapes, patterns and symbols. A new story with each additional layer, so the process of creation becomes another facet of the story behind Brenda's paintings. .A story that focuses on the inner landscape of both artist & viewer. Like a memory of a dream filtered by emotions & intuition. It's secrets & history revealed only to those who pause to have a closer look.---Feel free to contact Brenda directly with questions about her art OR for true fans of her art wanting an experience of trust, connection & colour - ask her about her Conscious Communion Commission experience
