"I’m not interested in creating an illustration. I want to create something that has its own life and power." - Kezleigh
Biography

Kezleigh, also known as Amy Merritt, focuses on expressing the fragility and complexity of a psyche as it struggles with flaws and irregularities in memory and in the subconscious communication of dreams. Revealing how emotion, time, and feelings shape perception. She works from the belief that something beneath conscious thought is always processing our lived experience. 

While technology, especially AI, dominates the contemporary zeitgeist, her practice deliberately uses non-automated digital tools such as custom digital paintbrushes, UV-laser printed ink, and laser cutters to fabricate tangible work on acrylic glass.

Her pieces are often site-specific, designed to harmonize seamlessly with their surroundings, shifting in light and atmosphere to create an ever-changing dialogue between art and environment.

Kezleigh’s work has gained growing recognition within the contemporary art scene. She was a featured artist at The Artist Project in Toronto, where she received the Gladstone House Award, and has exhibited at Arta Gallery, Hazelton Fine Art Galleries, Propeller Art Gallery, and Gallery 1313.

Her work continues to reach audiences both nationally and internationally, earning recognition for its emotional depth and quiet strength.
