About

Kayla McKenna is a visual artist based in Massachusetts. She received her BFA in art education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2014 and a Masters Degree from Boston University from the College of Fine Arts in 2022. She has been teaching visual art to middle school students in Massachusetts since 2014.

Her work is created through various media - from painting to collage, hand cut paper to digital photo work and more. A common thread you can find through her work is a love for intricacy and detail as well as contrast and pattern.

She has a deep love for nature and the mountains which you can directly see in her series of “Photocollages.” Some of her more recent work is inspired by learned behaviors, habitual patterns and processing personal experiences with trauma and family dynamics.
