Amy and Elisha Kingsley

Twin sisters Amy and Elisha Kingsley were born in 1996 in Lakeland, Florida, and grew up traveling coast to coast in an RV with their parents’ Christian drama ministry. This nomadic childhood exposed them to diverse landscapes, cultures, and experiences that continue to shape their artistic vision today. Homeschooled along the way, they visited museums, explored nature, and experienced history firsthand. When they discovered they were dyslexic, reading and writing proved challenging, but drawing and painting became powerful outlets for creative and emotional expression.
After graduating high school, both sisters were accepted into their dream school, the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Despite many sleepless nights adapting to high expectations, they graduated with honors at a ceremony held at Rockefeller Center. This experience pushed them beyond their comfort zones and refined their artistic style. While designing a hand-embroidered crystal jacket, they had leftover gems and decided to incorporate them into a painting that felt incomplete. This moment of inspiration led to their signature mixed-media approach, merging fashion and fine art in a way that has become highly coveted by collectors.
Today, Amy and Elisha Kingsley are represented by Park West Gallery. Mentored by artists including Stephen Fishwick, they have learned to embrace their uniqueness, viewing dyslexia and ADHD not as limitations but as superpowers. The cat-loving twins continue traveling with suitcases full of canvases, creating art inspired by America’s ever-changing scenery.
