About Kylene
Kylene is a California based artist who uses inspirations and findings in her outdoor adventures as major influences in her creative practices.

All of her art is inspired by elements in the natural world that she has had a direct interactions with. She hopes to use her illustrations as a tool to not only invigorate and excite others to get outside and love this planet, but also as a tool to help understand the interworking of the earth that we tread on. Through her art she hopes to help others gain a better perception on how important nature is and why preserving it is key for us all to continue to live healthy, happy lives in harmony with Mother Earth.
