About

Kaya Heyman is a multidisciplinary artist working across mixed media, painting, and linocut printmaking. With a background in architecture and design, her practice combines spatial thinking, material experimentation, and symbolic forms to explore identity, transformation, and embodied experience.

Her work examines the tension between control and surrender, structure and intuition, perception and subconscious recognition. Through a process-based approach informed by design systems present in nature and a respect for craft, she creates works that investigate the relationship between the physical and inner worlds.

Rooted in honest expression rather than decoration, her practice uses making as both a reflective and restorative act — a way of navigating personal and collective experience while questioning how reality is perceived, constructed, and shaped from within.
