Kirsty Black Artist Statement

“My aim as an artist is to engage the viewer and create a sense of escapade, as if romping across the canvas. I achieve this using a mix of intuition, spontaneity, and considered mark-making. Painting, for me, is a medium that allows the imagination to run free. Storytelling through art creates a common bond and can be cathartic, joyful, and entertaining. My goal is to invite viewers into a narrative landscape where they can explore, connect, and find their own stories within the artwork”.
