Artist Statement
Kirsten received her BA in Anthropology from Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa and graduated with her MFA from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2014.
Her work as a ceramic artist is inspired by the far North. She grew up surrounded by images and objects that depicted these rich histories and narratives. This spurred her to travel and have her own Northern experiences which have informed the foundation of her work. She creates utilitarian pieces that not only contain the food and drink that nourish, but also contain ideas of culture and community.
