about the artist
Based just outside of downtown Columbus, Kaily Drake has academic experience from both the Savannah College of Art and Design and The Ohio State University, where she received her B.F.A. in Studio Art. Practiced in mixed media, drawing, and printmaking, Kaily ultimately landed on her love of painting to fill the hole in her artistic heart. What started as a chance project to create a sidewalk sign advertising drinks for one of her favorite local coffee shops has since evolved into a passion to create art that has the opportunity to bring communities closer together and customers into the doors of beloved small businesses in the Columbus area.

Using ½ inch birch wood panels, I prime the sign with a preservative that will protect the wood from bugs and moisture warping. From there the wood is gessoed and painted using artist-grade acrylic paints. To top it all off, your new beautiful sign is protected by a clear sealant that keeps out water and UV light that would otherwise fade the color over time.
