Kylee, just 17 years old, began producing art as a young child that showed an obvious talent and a flair with colour and design.

Throughout high school  Kylee’s skill was honoured with an art award for each year she attended. In 2006, she began exhibiting and selling her work, winning an award at The Peterborough Public Library.

Inspired by her father, professional artist Risto Turunen, Kylee will be attending the Fine Art Studio program at Centennial College’s Centre for Creative Communications in Toronto beginning fall 2007.
