About the Maker: Kirstin Guenther is an artist who searches for esoteric beauty and meaning in everyday life.
She was awarded a BA Visual Arts (hons) in Textiles, Glass and Art Theory from The Australian National University and later a BA Secondary Teaching from Sturt University. Kirstin has worked as an educator in regional and National cultural institutions whilst maintaining her art practice.
Her art is motivated by expressing beauty and connections between humanity and equality, psychology and spirituality, science and nature and how these ideas intersect.
Currently Kirstin is focused theoretically and visually on the connections between space and time, luminosity and shadow, transparency and opacity…what we see and what is hidden. She works in multiple mediums including fabric, paper, ink, oil pastel and acrylic paint.
‘There is so much that remains mysterious in our world, in ourselves and how we see our place within and without.’
Kirstin lives and works in Canberra with her husband, two children, two dogs and three cats. She continues to work both as an art teacher to students with disabilities and art practice in her sanctuary and home studio.
