Kyle Edgell started drawing caricatures in a bar.  For fun.  She never considered the talent she had to capture a likeness and connect with people a product to be “sold”…until a life-changing request to draw at a company picnic as entertainment allowed her to gift the drawings to her subjects and be paid for it.  Her insight and ability to encourage others through her art and humor grew into a career that has spanned over 20 years.

Edgell has a gift for presentation that instigates laughter, whether in a homeless shelter or attending conferences at 5 star Resort Hotels.  Her philosophy of life and art has helped her meet the daily and unexpected challenges of cancer, the death of loved ones and ADD.

She now creates multifaceted presentations that incorporate live drawing, speaking, message visualization that will help your team translate obstacles into opportunities.  When optimism is rekindled using humor and creativity it will inspire practical strategies that will energize your corporate culture.

Kyle Edgell is an Artist, Speaker and Entertainer with a little bit of wit. She received her BFA from Syracuse University and lives in Roanoke Virginia. She is a member of the Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor.
