About Kirsten

I am a Bay Area artist working in paint and mixed media. My creative process is deeply intuitive, involving layering color and texture, then scraping and removing parts of those layers to reveal 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.
