Collectors from Europe, Hong Kong and the US are enamoured by the unique personality and spirited colour palette found in Kirsten Jackson’s original paintings. Working in impasto style with a variety of acrylic mediums, each work is infused with a boundless energy and joy for life that is 100% pure Kirsten. Her determination to exude shameless, infectious happiness everyday through her art has made Kirsten a beloved fixture among the Australian art community.

A life-long love of painting and studying Visual Arts at RMIT, inspired Kirsten’s vibrant career as an abstract artist.

“I build layer upon layer of texture, while the colour carries emotion; capturing and reflecting light. It grows and grows until finally it explodes in a vibrant visual delight.”

Painting for Kirsten is a meditative process. She uses art as a positive outlet; centring herself in the solitude of her studio with little more than her canvas and paints to create works that project happiness upon the viewer and herself. She moves near-finished works from the studio into her own home, communing with a piece for several weeks until satisfied it is truly done.

“It is an art in itself to know when the piece is complete.” 

Kirsten’s works can be found gracing the glossy pages of magazines like Home Beautiful, Inside Out, Real Living and Modern Home Magazine and her paintings were hand-selected to adorn the walls of nearly every room in Southbank’s Aria Hotel. Meanwhile, her joy-sparking global journey continues with (frequently sold-out) shows in New York, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Hamburg, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Sydney and her hometown of Melbourne.

“I want these works to emanate a constant pulse of joy to and for the viewer. Then I know my work is done.”

Commissions

Rase at Watergos Hotel

Kirsten Jackson is available to commission paintings in a range of sizes

Once you have selected the colours and style you prefer, Kirsten will make a small sample and send it to the gallery so you can approve the colour and finish. The painting can be either in oil on canvas or oil on canvas with a high gloss resin surface to enhance the colours. As the painting will be sent from Melbourne there will be a small courier fee depending on the size of the painting you select and I can send you the courier quote before you proceed. Once you have accepted the sample and the courier quote there will be a 50% deposit for Kirsten to begin the painting.  She can have it ready in four to six weeks when we will send high resolution images true to colour to make sure you are happy with the finished painting before having it framed and delivered. The price includes framing which is either in a natural timber or white inset frame.
