Kylie's personacity is currently living in Colorado. Growing up as an army brat, she got to experience the different flavors of culture across the United States and some overseas.
As a married, stay at home mom of three with a special needs toddler, she enjoys drawing, learning to sew, photography, reading, and learning to cook allergy friendly recipes. Kylie is autistic, and thinks it helps her see the world in a unique, and creative way that feeds her art.
Kylie doodled and scribbled growing up like most children did. When she was 13, she saw a comic book in line at the commissary. It was X-Men #22. Her mother bought it for her, and Kylie fell in love with the industry.
She learned to draw starting out by redrawing every panel of X-Men #22 and Uncanny X-Men #302. Her mother back ordered hundreds of comics for her, feeding her imagination and curiosity. Kylie xeroxed dozens and dozens of pages, wallpapering her room in sequential pages to study.
Artists that really caught her eye and influenced her direction were Alan Davis, Andy Kubert, Gary Frank, and Adam Hughes. She also adores pinup up girls, and her drawing of full figured women and natural curves helped build a clientele that is very diverse.
At age 15, a year and a half after finding her first comic book, Kylie was published by AC Comics in Femforce Pin-up Portfolio 5. Rebekah Black, the wife of AC Comics owner, Bill Black, wrote Kylie's local comic book store expressing surprise that Kylie was so young and requested to see more of her work.
Several publications followed, as well as newsletter features, comic book preview magazines, and the Who's Who In American High School Students. Kylie won Best of Show in the 1996 Columbus Welcomes the World art show for the Olympics in Georgia.
Most of her recent work includes personal commissions, sketch card sets, book illustrations, t-shirt designs, art trades, and other freelance work. She has illustrated two children's books, published a collection of her artwork, and is working on various children's storybooks and coloring books.
She has worked on several non-sports trading card sets including Ken Galan's Contemporary Pinups 2013, the second Larry Welz's Cherry Poptart series, Naughty Nurses by Chadpop Entertainment, and many more. She has donated her art to multiple charities including the Chicago Gala of the 2013 Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics, Island Dreams 3, and silent art auctions for various smaller charities.
Some of Kylie's favorite things include Alice In Wonderland, Marilyn Monroe, antique books, and the color pink. Her favorite TV Shows are Supernatural, Smallville, Psych, and A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie to name a few. She loves anything involving Monty Python or Doctor Who.
Ayumi Hamasaki, Hyper Crush, Adele, Frank Sinatra, Tool, and Pitbull are a few of the many artists that fill Kylie's Spotify. She has an extremely eclectic taste in music, and loves all genres from classical to industrial.
She is a certified massage therapist, and 2nd level reiki practitioner.
Kylie is also learning American Sign Language to communicate with her oldest daughter who has Angelman Syndrome.
