About Me

Kirsten Ireland was raised in an artistically rich environment in the Mid-West. She was inspired at a young age, not only by the great classical and contemporary artists, but by the 4 generations of artists that preceded her in the Ireland Family. She picked up her first paintbrush at the tender age of four. Being patiently guided by her grandfather, she quickly learned the basic techniques of the fine art of painting. Over the years she worked continually to refine her skills with both the guidance of family members and professionals alike. Now at the age of 28, she is still incorporating these lessons into her own unique style of portrait painting. Kirsten has displayed her works across the United States, enjoying the enthusiastic reception of private collectors from Pennsylvania to California. view gallery As well as being a visual artist, Kirsten is also a singer/songwriter.
