About

Kayla Williams

Kayla Williams is a mixed-heritage artist born in Goose Bay, Labrador, who has a strong connection to her Inuk roots. She cherishes her family's ties to Makkovik and Rigolet in Nunatsiavut, along with her Scottish and French ancestry. Growing up, she spent her summers in Cartwright with her grandmother, deeply immersing herself in the rich culture and community of Labrador. A self-taught artist since childhood, Kayla runs her own business, Big Land Design, where she channels her passion for art into various creative outlets. She illustrates and writes children's books, aiming to ensure that Labrador Indigenous children see themselves represented in literature. Additionally, she paints public murals throughout her community, contributing to its vibrant cultural landscape. As a devoted mother to her two children, Lilian and Samuel, Kayla is committed to inspiring them and other young dreamers to embrace their heritage and pursue their aspirations.
