Born and raised "up North", Kyle attended a small New England college to study art. After two years of college, she landed a job at a local tv station which lead to a 22 year career in TV production. While working in many areas of production she became a community activist focusing on women and children's issues. In 2003 she relocated to South Florida with her family and 9 years later ventured back to art and opened Harris Art Studio.  She teaches painting and drawing classes to children and adults.  As a small, black owned female business owner, Kyle enjoys creating lifelike paintings and defines her success as  a teacher by showing her students how to bring out their inner creativity.
