About Kayla Reay Design

I'm a pencil artist currently residing on Dharawal Country (located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia). I design and create all of my products from my home studio and with the help of other small businesses within Australia. I'm proud to keep all of my products Australian made and sustainably sourced. My deep appreciation for the natural landscape that surrounds me has been a driving force behind my artistic creations. Through purposeful pencil strokes and vibrant colours, I create artworks that celebrate the diversity within Australia's flora and fauna, especially its birdlife. Not much makes me happier than being able to share my passion for the natural world with others through my creations! My creative drive developed during my childhood in Wollongong, where I spent lots of time creating alongside my mother, exploring nature and bush walking. I remain an avid hiker and continue to take inspiration for my artworks on each of my daily walks. Creating is meditative for me and I always do so alongside an oversized cup of tea and my budgerigars, Buckwheat, Barley and Farro. Thank you for shopping small and supporting Australian made!Read their story
