Kyle McWhat - Lead Muralist and Street Artist
Kyle McWhat is Daybreak's lead muralist and street artist. Kyle is deployed to various locations and commissioned to lead art projects for our Daybreak clients. Kyle specializes in large mural projects on the exterior and interior of business's and private residences. Just as in our custom apparel division, Kyle's work helps business's spread their message and stand out amongst the rest.
Growing up in Lakewood Ohio, Kyle was creating art as soon as he could hold a crayon. Art was a hobby for most of Kyle's life. Influenced heavily by the street art and graffiti he saw in the Cleveland skateboarding community, Kyle quickly became obsessed with creating art of his own. Facing legal consequences, Kyle knew he needed to make healthier lifestyle choices and began painting murals and street art legally. From this came an increasing demand for commission work and a growing portfolio of work.
Kyle remains committed to his craft and the work he does for his clients. He believes in the Daybreak ethos, that everybody has a message to tell, and our role at Daybreak is to help tell your story.
