Kirsten’s art explores the quiet power of stillness, reminding us that even at our most raw and essential, we are enough.

After developing a debilitating neurological condition in 2019, Kirsten experienced a profound shift in her understanding of success, identity and self-worth. Her work now examines what remains when much of what once defined life is stripped away.

Shadows, presented at Lon Retreat, is the first public expression of this exploration. Inspired by the colours of the surrounding landscape—from lichen along the beach path, to banksia flowers, the shifting ocean and the roving sun—the works distil these elements to their essence, revealing beauty where light meets shadow.
