About the artist

Kayla Conner is a watercolor artist, poet, and intuitive tarot reader based in New Bedford, MA.

Born and raised in the vibrant coastal city, Kayla’s artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her personal experiences, her love of life, and her passion for healing through creative expression. Her artistic practice is a reflection of her inner journey—one that embraces both the light and the dark, the joyful and the challenging aspects of life.

Kayla’s artistic path began after overcoming a childhood disability, which led to a hip replacement at age 30. This life-changing experience reignited her creative spirit, giving her the clarity and freedom to pursue her passions. With a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from UMass Dartmouth, Kayla has always been drawn to the mysteries of the soul and the metaphysical. In 2012, alongside the birth of her first child, she also received her first tarot deck, an experience that would go on to shape her work as both an artist and intuitive reader.

Her watercolor paintings are an act of self-healing and an invitation for others to connect with their own souls. Kayla paints to process her own emotions and experiences, but also to offer a sense of comfort and inspiration to those who view her work. Each piece is imbued with layers of emotion, energy, and intention, offering viewers a glimpse into a deeper, more spiritual perspective on life.

In addition to her art, Kayla offers intuitive tarot readings, where she channels guidance from her spirit guides, ancestors, and her own intuition to help others navigate life’s challenges and opportunities. Through her readings, she creates a safe space for reflection, insight, and clarity, helping clients find direction and healing on their personal journeys.

Kayla’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that life is an intricate dance of light and shadow. Whether through the act of painting or the art of tarot, her work serves as a tool for self-discovery, transformation, and emotional healing. With each brushstroke and each reading, Kayla offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and connect with the deeper aspects of the self.

Above all, Kayla’s mission is to spread joy, hope, and love through her work, helping others reconnect with their own innate beauty and resilience.
