Kirsty Black reimagines life’s small, unexpected moments – puddle stomps, head spins, lazy naps in the sun. Her paintings brim with movement, humour, and heart, brought to life through bold brushstrokes, dancing lines, and shapes that swagger, swirl, or race across the canvas. 

Each work is a mini-adventure where optimism leads the way. This is work about joy – finding it in the nonsense, spotting beauty in the blunder, and embracing a little chaos with a wink. 

From her seaside studio in Maraetai, New Zealand, Kirsty creates art that is light-hearted yet resonant, inviting curiosity, play, and smiles that linger long after viewing.
