Stories That Live
Behind the Canvas

I’m Mckayla Cairns, a Lexington, Kentucky–based abstract painter with a lifelong love of color, form, and visual rhythm. My work explores emotion, texture, and the quiet tension between structure and instinct. Each piece is built slowly, allowing the process to remain visible and honest.

From intimate commissions to limited prints, every artwork is created to feel lived-in, grounded, and intentional.
