About

 

Welcome! My name is Kayla Bridget Williams, and I am a freelance artist, illustrator, designer, author, and mother. Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil. As a self-taught artist, I draw inspiration from my father's Nunatsiavut Inuit roots and my mixed Scottish and French heritage, blending culture, storytelling, and creativity into my work.

My great grandmother was Bridget Jacque from Makkovik, Nunatsiavut. My great grandfather was Henry John Williams (born Pottle) from Woody Point, Nunatsiavut.

My grandfather Edgar Hamel, from Muddy Bay, was also Nunatsiavut Inuit. My grandmother Elsie Williams who lives in Cartwright is Nunatsiavut Inuit as well. I am 1/4 Inuk myself and am always learning and embracing my family's history and culture every day. 

I am the founder of Big Land Design, where I create and sell original paintings, prints, commissions, murals, and children's book illustrations. My work has been featured on NTV’s "Home Is Where The Art Is" and on various radio programs.

Teaching & Community Engagement

I love sharing my passion for art with others. Over the years, I have:

Hosted paint nights and art workshops for youth and adults across Ontario and Labrador.

Taught painting at the Labrador Creative Arts Festival and in schools, including in Cartwright and with You Go Girl in Goose Bay.

Created public murals for businesses and institutions, including a local college and hotel.

Participated in local craft fairs, honoring the long line of crafters in my family who shaped my artistic journey.

Books & Publishing

I am currently working with publishers to bring my first two children’s books to life— that I both wrote and illustrated. Additionally, I’ve published my first children’s coloring book and am in the process of writing more.

Let's Connect

I am available for commissions, murals, children’s book illustration, and private paint nights for businesses, schools, and special events. For inquiries, feel free to email me at biglanddesign@gmail.com
