Painter + Soul Portrait Artist
Kay (they/them) is a Los Angeles-based artist, therapist, and founder of Softly Healing Art. Through intuitive portraiture and energy-inspired paintings, their work explores healing, identity, human connection, and the stories we carry beneath the surface. Entirely self-taught as an artist, Kay draws from their background in clinical psychology and trauma-informed care to create art that helps people feel seen, understood, and connected to themselves.
In addition to their creative practice, Kay is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma, attachment, and embodied healing. Their work lives at the intersection of art, mental health, and community, guided by a belief that creativity can be a powerful catalyst for transformation. Through both therapy and art, they are passionate about creating spaces where people can reconnect with authenticity, meaning, and belonging.
