Welcome to the home of colourful art by yours truly, Kirstin Wood / artist

My creative journey began with studying art in school, followed by training as a theatre designer in art college. I then spent years working as a scenery painter and prop maker. Along the way, I’ve explored various creative ventures, including mural painting, furniture upcycling, craft fair organizing, and running a handmade gift shop. These days, I work as a graphic designer for the local council while continuing to pursue my passion for painting.

 

I’ve built a strong reputation as a pet portrait artist, completing nearly 200 commissioned portraits of beloved cats and dogs. My portfolio also features vibrant and quirky paintings of trees, seascapes, animals, plants, and food - all tied together by my signature bold colour palette and contemporary style.
