Kyla Woolley is a college senior artist whose work sits at the intersection of visual storytelling and social consciousness. Currently studying Politics and Law at Bryant University, she blends an academic understanding of politics, law, and power with a deep commitment to creative expression.

Rooted in both activism and artistry, Kyla creates political drawings centered on civil and human rights. Growing up in New Hampshire, she first became aware of the impact of injustice through passion in the field. That awareness grew into a desire to use art not only as a personal outlet, but also as a means to question, challenge, and illuminate the systems shaping people’s lives.

Working primarily in graphite, Kyla focuses on themes such as inequality, protest, identity, and accountability. Through careful linework, symbolism, and expressive composition, she creates images designed to spark conversation and inspire reflection.

In addition to academic and studio work, Kyla serves as President of the Art Club at Bryant where she supports fellow artists and encourages political engagement through creative practice. Beyond campus, she has been involved in volunteer work, community projects, and activism events, experiences that continue to shape both her artistic vision and understanding of the world.

Much of Kyla’s recent work draws inspiration from activists she has studied at university, using art as a bridge between emotion and information. She hopes to create work that invites viewers to look closer, think deeper, and recognize their place within ongoing struggles for justice.

When not creating, Kyla enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, and going on walks which often influence her creative thinking and approach. Looking ahead, she aims to continue developing a body of work grounded in empathy, clarity, and the belief that art can be a catalyst for change.
