Kyle Staver received her BA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and MFA in Painting from Yale University in 1987. She also attended Camberwell College of Arts in London.
Her work has been exhibited at Lohin Geduld Gallery, Denise Bibro Gallery, and Maurice Arlos Fine Arts in New York, at Hackett-Feedman Gallery in San Francisco, and at Atticus Bookstore Café in New Haven.
In the two decades following her 1987 graduation from Yale, Staver gradually established herself as a painter of intimate vignettes of human relationships presented in a quirky, personal and playful style. She developed the conviction that painting had become her own non-verbal form of language capable of expressing what words cannot. Staver likes what Picasso had to say about this: “As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.”
Honored by the National Academy Museum of New York with its Benjamin Altman Figure Prize in 1996 and again in 1998, Staver received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award in 2003 and began to exhibit regularly in New York.
