Kayla M. Martell

Artist

& author

An award-winning oil painter, and now an author, Kayla’s paintings seek to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary, capturing fleeting moments and overlooked details. Working primarily in oil, she is drawn to the interplay of light, shadow, and texture, which transforms everyday objects and scenes into warm inspiration.

Whether capturing sunlight on porcelain or the curve of an avocado, Kayla’s paintings reflect a deep connection to her environment and a fascination with how small details can reveal universal truths.

Kayla’s debut novel, The Minor Fall, will be released April 15th, 2025 on Amazon.
