In Canada, Kalene L. Dunsmoor's name is synonymous with art. Passionate about the subject since she can remember, it was with the support and guidance of her high school Art teacher, that helped Kalene discover her inner artiste through painting mural projects. Today, Dunsmoor's talents range from the digital realm and photography, to paint and even sculpture. Her unique ability to capture the essence of her subjects in a gentle and dramatic way often results in bold statements.

While attending York University for Visual Arts in Canada, she was approached by Chess Innovations, a new airbrushing company, for a shot at freelance work. Through trial and error, she soon mastered the airbrush gun, with her first few bikes winning awards at numerous shows including the International Motorcycle Super Show. Kalene's edgy style of airbrush has added a touch of realism in a classic rock-n-roll distinction to many a motorcycle.

Kalene now credits her freelance airbrushing craft, not only for paying her way through school, but also for making her a better artist. One day she hopes to own her very own paint shop, but until then, she continues her freelance jobs under the title, Vixen Paint. Her newcomer status to the motorcycle world has Kalene pondering the idea of riding a motorcycle herself, “After painting so many bikes that I have customized for other people, I would love to be able to go all out on my own bike and do something really unique and creative.”

She currently attends The Academy of Realist Art and resides in Toronto, Canada, where she is expanding her horizons in the computer art world and continues to branch out in other artistic areas. While her freelance work in motorcycles slows down during the riding season, she focuses on airbrushing guitars! Now that rocks! You can see her commissions at various bike shows in Canada on display at The Durham Cruisers and showcased in local Canadian galleries. For more on Kalene, visit her web site: http://www.kalene.ca
