Kiah Denson was born and raised in Austin, TX. She graduated from Colorado College (Colorado Springs, CO), earning a BA in Studio Art with a Distinction in Art. Upon graduation, Kiah started her own mural & decorative painting business. After a few years, she returned to fine art and has been steadily expanding and exploring her practice ever since. She has worked with a number of designers, consultants, galleries and individual collectors across the country, and her art has been featured in several online and print publications.

Kiah lives in the countryside of Austin, TX surrounded by green pastures, woods and creeks, with her big, fluffy dog and a stray-turned-house cat. She works outside in her backyard and in her home studio, a converted sunroom with bright windows. When she’s not painting or working on her property, you might catch her dancing at a local honky tonk. Please contact her directly with questions about available pieces, commissions or murals.

Artist Statement

I paint colorful abstract paintings on canvas indirectly inspired by elements of nature. I transform and organize energy of the present moment into something visible and tangible. I create movement in my work to cultivate stillness within. My active mind quiets as I become immersed in the physical process; painting becomes a meditative and therapeutic experience. I utilize and respond to the natural unpredictability and fluidity of my materials to construct interesting organic compositions through dynamic interaction of color, line and form. Creating each piece feels like solving an ever-changing cosmic puzzle, and a part of me evolves along with it. (more about my current work HERE)
