About Kirstie Cohen

Kirstie's painting style lies within the context of the northern romantic landscape tradition. She tries to convey the essence of land, sea and sky and express a sense of space light or mood of the moment rather than depict a specific location as this creates a boundary that restricts the process of developing the work. It is overall a more emotional cathartic response. This process is continual and vital in all its hidden frustrations. The elemental ideas of diffusion, suspension and reflection are key concerns, contributing to the final dynamic of the painting.
