Hello!

Kylie is a contemporary hyperrealism artist living and working on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. Originally from Adelaide, she moved to the EP for her next life chapter. Kylie’s practice is centred around seeing the beauty in ordinary things.

Working in finite detail allows her to intimately connect with clients and the memories that are evoked by their special objects. This connection is then represented in a considered, intentional and deliberate way through line, shape, form and texture.

After a career as an educator and fulltime single parent, art has always been her passion, and now in this third life iteration, Kylie has decided that this is now her future.

Above all Kylie’s work is driven by the need to document an artists view of the world so all viewers can see the beauty that is all around us, even in seemingly insignificant objects.

Hyperrealism gives her the platform to introduce the viewer to how the artist sees the world. By focusing on the smallest details, the viewer can then see the world from a different perspective and appreciate it even more.

Kylie has been finalist in the Art Gallery of Swan Hill Drawing and Print Acquisitive Award 2026 and was chosen to participate in the Pepper Street Art Gallery, “Wild by Nature’ exhibition in 2025.

Due to the nature of her process, Kylie has a limited number of commission spaces available each year.
