What They're Saying About Kirsten

From Home Beautiful:

Her bright artworks are as contagiously bubbly as Kirsten herself, who still equates painting with peace.

She likens walking into her studio to breezing through a yoga class. “I love my studio,” she says of the fresh white space, which provides a tranquil backdrop for her vibrant pieces. “My breathing changes and I get that ‘ahhh’ feeling. It’s like my meditation.”

What Comes First: Artwork or Accessories?

I the dining room, the art is a huge ‘Happy Face’ painting by Kirsten Jackson. This piece is extremely vibrant, large and bold so I have made this the focus and kept the rest of the styling pared back with a few pops of colour to link the painting to the room.
