Corby, Kayla

“I am a born artist. I have been drawing since I was a young child. I have a world of interests including art, music, writing, and gardening. I look to find the light in the darkness and beauty in the chaos. Life is ever changing and eternal.”

Kayla is a Berkshire local, having grown up in Lenox, MA. She has been painting and exhibiting her work in the Berkshires for the past fifteen years. She has also exhibited her work in Boston, Nantucket, New York City, Mystic, New Haven, and New Bern, NC. Her work reflects the beauty of nature.

“All of my work conveys intense depth of emotion, spirituality, and movement. I try to find a balance of chaos and structure in my work. Variety of style, subject matter, and mediums reflect the many inspirations and interests in my life.

I’ve exhibited my work in Boston, New York, and other places but consider myself a true Berkshire artist, and have shown throughout the Berkshires for many years.”
