BIO

Hi!  

 

My name is Kayla West and I am a striving artist, musician, writer and a teacher.  I've been creating in the arts since elementary school and have learned a lot about many different art forms, but I'm always eager to learn more!

 

In an effort to showcase my creative endeavors I thought I would create this web page as a portfolio of what I've done and am currently doing.

I graduated from York University in 2015 with a degree in Music Education and Biology. From there, I enrolled in the Consecutive Teaching program at Queen's University, and graduated in July 2016.

 

I hope to one day publish my stories and create a manga-style comic book. I'd like to share my creative works with you, so please enjoy my site and explore the many links I have attached for you to view all my artistic works.

A Mysterious girl appears in Edwards dream, pleading for his help. Is she real or just a figment of his imagination? The only way to find out is to see if her hometown is on a map, but there's a deeper story behind this dream girl than expected.

Maya is the oldest of 3 daughters to a father who studies alchemy. When his dreams of having a son are dashed he uses his eldest in a transmutation that ultimately fails, causing her to have the ability to turn into water - and perform alchemy without a circle. As she begins her own search to return to her original body she crosses paths with the Elric brothers. Will they help her?

Edward is being a scrooge around Christmas time, but a fateful meeting with a few heartwarming and bone chilling ghosts may change his mind and a path to the grave, your classic Christmas Carol story in FullMetal style!

I've been writing a story with a friend. It's a blog story; a riveting tale called The Guild! Please check it out on my Wordpress!
 
There are chapters already up and I have made a Chapter Guide so you can find your place easily. It is a continuing story for now so you can look forward to upcoming chapters regularly!
​
Recently, we began writing our second draft from the beginning, adjusting details and editing out work! We've also started preparing it in a book format, dividing the current chapters into volumes.

Started working on a manga styled story for an art project, but had the idea of developing it for a couple of years now.  I've outlined the story and scripted chapter 1. I've started the picture story boards, some inking, and character designs!

I have ongoing fanfiction works on fanfiction.net that mostly revolve around the Fullmetal Alchemist world.  These are stories that help me to expand my writing style and keep me writing when I am experiencing writer's block on my original works.
