Hi! I’m Kayleigh Browne, an Illustration student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). My work explores the intersection of fine art and design, translating gallery aesthetics into forms that live within everyday spaces.
Currently, I’m working with the RISD Museum, where I combine my interests in art curation, education, and public engagement. Outside of work and studio, I’ve led and built up RISD’s largest student organization, the Midnight Soccer Club, through all four years of study. My biggest contribution has been the introduction of the beginner's field, which welcomes students of all backgrounds to enjoy the game and connect through community.
My practice centers on multi-media storytelling, blending tactile materials, illustrative form, and interactive experience. I believe art should be accessible, something people can touch, feel, and connect with. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between the visual and visceral, bringing art off the white wall and into shared, lived spaces.
Please connect with me through LinkedIn or my email, Kbrown05@risd.edu.
I create brand campaigns that pull references from my childhood and reimagine them into something unexpected. My practice centers on multimedia storytelling and interactive experience, blending digital software and traditional 3D fabrication into bold and vibrant imagery. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between the tangible and the surreal, bringing art off the gallery wall and into accessible community spaces.
My inspiration comes from interactive art, creative combinations of colors and mediums, and my dog Sadie. I’m most drawn to things that surprise me, whether it’s through production technique or artistic style. I'm inspired by work that challenges me to think and pushes me to experiment and reflect on my own approach to my art practice.
