Kylee Rees

Kylee is an artist based in Northern NSW for 25 years. She has had a lifelong passion for art in various forms including printmaking, design and digital art. Having completed a Bachelor of Visual Art in 2001 Kylee went on to work as a sign writer and in the graphic design and scenic art fields before recently shifting her primary focus to painting.

I enjoy painting with a palette knife and fingers, instinctively layering colours, never sure quite what the final piece will become. I love to paint birds and work to express their freedom and fragility as well as the boldness of their character. I am currently exploring landscapes taking inspiration from my beautiful surrounds in Northern NSW. My interest lies in refining the landscape to the barest simple shapes and bring forth colours that we cannot readily see.
