Kyle Ma was born in Taiwan, and developed a love for art at an early age after being exposed to the works of the old masters through museums and art history books. In 2010, Kyle moved with his family to Austin, Texas where he began seriously study oil painting under Elizabeth Locke. Here, Kyle learned the importance of having a solid foundation in the fundamentals to be a successful representational artist.
Kyle also took workshops around the country with master artists to further his art education. He enjoys painting
En plein air since it allows him to be immersed in the landscape during the process of creating. Kyle says that painting allows him to express his viewpoint of our world.
In 2016, Kyle held his first solo show with Wilcox Gallery. The show was successful and encouraged Kyle to consider art as a full time career after graduating. Kyle holds a BS in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin but chose to pursue art as a career. Kyle believes his training reinforced the idea of making careful observations and seeking to understand these observations, a skill Kyle feels is extremely important in art.
Kyle's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the country, and has received several awards including the gold medal in the 30th annual Oil Painters of America National show.
Kyle is a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America, Plein Air Painters of America, and a member of the Salmagundi Club.
