Artist Statement: Kirsten Clark

Kirsten Clark is a New Zealand artist known for her captivating landscapes and evocative floral portraits. Inspired by traditional, impressionist, and plein air paintings, Kirsten's work merges the worlds of photography and painting, resulting in artwork that possesses a painterly effect.

Kirsten's landscapes, such as the mysterious and moody "Milford Sound Golden Hour," delight viewers with their atmospheric depth. Her floral portraits are celebrated for their beauty, tranquility, and emotional resonance, capturing the essence of nature in a single frame.

An avid walker and runner, Kirsten finds inspiration in the great outdoors, using her time in nature to observe and explore. This connection to the environment is integral to her artistic process, allowing her to experience and capture moments often missed in the daily rush. Whether it's a single dewy rose or a stormy ocean beach, Kirsten's art reveals the hidden details and moods of these fleeting moments.

After years of experimenting with various forms of art, Kirsten decided in 2020 to dedicate more time to her passions for painting and photography. This journey is a tribute to her brother, Matt, who passed away in March 2020. His authenticity  inspires Kirsten to pursue her own artistic dreams wholeheartedly.

Kirsten Clark's work is a testament to the beauty of nature and the power of art to capture and convey the profound moments that often go unnoticed. Through her lens and brush, she invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find serenity in the natural world.
