About

Hello beautiful being,

Welcome to my personal art space on the web, kyahswurld. My name is Jakyah Overton, but you can call me Kyah. Join me on this journey:

I identify primarily as a painter, with an evolving practice rooted in mixed-media portraiture. Working across oil, pastel, acrylic and graphite, I explore texture, gesture, and emotional resonance through layered mark-making. My space embraces both finished works and studies drawn from sketchbooks, volunteer projects, and material experimentation. Influences by editorial imagery, street art, impressionism, and visually expressive contemporary culture, my work is deeply informed by personal relationships and lived experience.

This platform exists as a space for connection! I invite dialogue with fellow artists, collectors, and collaborators. Through my work, I aim to create pieces that are both intimate and uplifting, fostering opportunity. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy exploring my work and continue browsing.
