About Kirsten Elswood

Kirsten Elswood

Kirsten was born in Clifton in 1967, and has spent much of her life steeped in the topography of the South West of England. She divided her time between Devon and Newlyn, before moving permanently to Penzance, Cornwall in 2019. She is a contemporary, semi-abstract landscape painter, working in a variety of different mediums. Her landscapes draw from the space and sense of the wild that she finds in Cornwall. Memory and the directly observed meet on her rich surfaces, combining a restful palette with dynamic line and paint work.
