Kirsten is a practising artist and enjoys fabric and fibre art as well as painting and mixed media. In 2004 she was commissioned by Cell C to decorate a life-sized fibreglass cow for Cow Parade SA. Her first solo exhibition was held at the Unity Gallery in Johannesburg in May 2005. Her fabric art is non-traditional explorations of colour and texture executed through original and often spontaneous in-progress design.

Kirsten has an affiliation with the Unity Gallery in Johannesburg, which also serves as an outlet for her work. She recently participation in a group show at the gallery with Robyn Field and Patrick Mabena.

Kirsten's paintings and fabric pieces reach deep into the colours and many concurrent symbols and story lines that make up the human dream state. Her art offers a child-like resonance in its treatment of universal human themes, reinforced by the use of vivid colours. Both her fabric work and her art illustrate how deeply creative processes draw on the dream state, and how the different and complicated fragments of individual identity somehow manage to live together, side by side, day after day.
