She has created her own unique cartoon style and brand image that is fun, bright, and expressive. Furthermore, her painting style is a mixture of contemporary, Afrocentric, and pop art. Kayla's artwork is inspired by her observation of real-life subjects and using abstract elements to express her own indirect or implied meaning.
