My name is Kirsten Piroth and this is my website - welcome! I was born in the UK but came to America 20 years ago with my husband: we came on our honeymoon and I guess you could say - 4 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat - that we are still on it! I have always enjoyed art in it's many forms, and strive to be creative in all I do. I enjoy painting but also home design and generally just making things!
...and a little bit about my art
"What I dream of is an art of balance, purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter- a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue" - Henri Matisse
Over the years, my art has gone down many different paths and is forever changing and evolving. However, I think what is always present in my art is the idea of visual balance and a general feeling of positivity and well-being. People usually tell me that my paintings make them feel happy and light - and that is the highest praise I could hope for!
I love color, shape and form all present in perfect harmony. I am inspired by colorful or patterned things I see in my daily life - fabrics, plants - anything really - and these become incorporated into what I am making at that time. This website is a place to show my art to you. I hope my art brings as much joy to you to view as it has for me to make. If you would like to purchase any particular piece on this website, you can contact me via email on the contact page and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thank you for taking the time to look a my website. I hope you enjoy the art.
