MEET KIRA
1. Please describe yourself in five words:
Creative, passionate, playful, encouraging, courageous.
2. How do you explain to other people what you do?
Wow! I wear so many hats! I usually start with telling people I do mixed-media art and write about it. I then start babbling about art journaling, which I can get VERY excited about and thus babble for about for awhile. I’m always encouraging people to try out a bit of art journaling, or even accept that they can be artistic, so the story soon turns to them — maybe that’s what I REALLY do! Help others become artistic!
3. What inspired your stamp designs?
My journals. I always go back to them when looking for ideas. I went through and found images that jumped at me, or repeated forms I knew I’d like. A few years ago, I began playing with my handwriting, and knew I wanted to include words I wrote in these designs.
4. Who or what inspired you?
I’d say friends and family, as well as nature, inspire me. I’m always doodling, playing, and observing, and find my daily life is so full of rich content to push me forward, I can’t help but be inspired! Just today, I was thinking on a new painting I’m working on, and decided it was time for a walk — walking, observing, and letting my mind wander helped me to figure out what I needed to do!
