About


Kiarah is a self taught artist born in Rochester, NY. She grew up drawing everything she saw but never viewed art as a viable career path. In college she studied Biomedical Science and found success in the workforce but never felt satisfied with her job. In her late twenties, she went back to her first love, art. 

Today, Kiarah paints emotional pieces of everyday people. She uses lots of layers and muted colors. Capturing light and depth that draw you deep into each piece. Her works are medium sized, expressive and dramatic. 

Outside of art, she spends lots of time laughing with her friends and family. Her greatest joy is watching her daughter grow and learn.
