About Kirsten

I am a Sebastopol-based artist working in paint and mixed media. My creative process is deeply intuitive, involving the layering of color and texture, followed by scraping and removing parts of those layers to uncover a surface that feels rich and nuanced.

I am inspired by cohesive color and form, and while my work leans toward abstraction, images often emerge organically on the canvas. These images embody a balance of seriousness and playfulness, inviting viewers to engage and bring their own stories to the pieces, making each painting a shared experience.
