Hi, I'm Kirsten. I am a proud Canadian artist from the Ottawa Valley.

 

I have no formal training but I make art as a way to settle my busy mind.

​

​I like to create bold contemporary paintings that transform people, animals, places and everyday subjects into graphic, expressive works of art.

​​

After a series of unfortunate events and a life changing injury, I found myself staring at blank walls with a whole lot of time on my hands. I've been sketching since I was a girl so I decided to fill my time and my walls with art.

​

When I would finish a piece, I would share it on social media. Friends started asking if they could buy them, and then their friends asked, and their friends did too. The next thing I knew, SSKTCHY was born.   

​​​

Follow along my social media channels (@ssktchy) where I share my paintings, a few raw sketches, parts of the creative process, unique commissions, and other fun behind-the-scenes action.

 

Thanks for being here, stay SSKTCHY! ✏️​​​​
