Hi I’m Kiersten,

As a self-taught painter living in upstate New York, I create work that lives in the space between the unknown and the deeply familiar. Rooted in abstraction and impressionism, my paintings speak to the raw beauty of humanity: imperfect, spiritual, playful, and tenderly nostalgic.

Whether through the embrace of mother and child, a quilted abstract pieced together from memory, a meditative landscape, or a humble still life, each painting carries a fragment of our shared story on earth. My practice moves between watercolor, acrylic, and layered textures, always guided by intuition, imperfection, and devotion to beauty as a spiritual language.

I paint to make sense of our time here — to touch the mystery of it — and to offer viewers a moment to feel connected, to wonder, and to question the meaning and beauty of our shared existence.
