My name is Kayla Heintz and I am a full time artist currently living in St. Pete, FL. I have been drawing and painting since I can remember, but lost touch with my creative side for a few years after high school. While working in an herbarium in college, I started drawing botanical illustrations. My passion for the natural world lead me back to my love for art and it has since helped me through some of the tougher parts of my life.
I’m still finding my way and testing out the elements of art that I connect with, but at the moment, I love using acrylics to explore color and saturation. I paint a variety of subjects, but I like to focus on nature, nostalgia, and the weird.
I started my "St. Pete UFO" series back in 2020 and have thoroughly enjoyed adding to the collection. I think there is something nostalgic about allowing ourselves to enjoy art that is outside of the norm and I hope that my art brings you as much joy as it brings me to create it!
When I'm not painting, I love to show my art at local markets and art shows. To keep up with my events, please visit my Instagram page! (Events page coming soon).
