about

I'm Kara Jayne, lots of folks call me KJ.

I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up with friends and family that taught me to find beauty in the world around me, no matter where I was. When I was introduced to painting and fine art, I fell in love with these mediums as ways to capture the beauty I noticed in my surroundings and share it with others.

I am mostly self-taught, and this has allowed me to experiment with different art styles and methods on my own terms. I learn by doing, and my style is constantly evolving. Part of the fun is seeing myself grow as I look back on my body of work. I am also a musician, and many of my paintings are visual representations of my songs.
After getting my first few commissioned pieces, I decided to begin working as a professional artist and sell my art.

Everything on this site is original, hand-made work: each one is a little piece of me. I hope you enjoy them, and see them as reminders to find beauty in your own life each day. It’s all around, and it’s what makes life so special!
