Kirsten
Chursinoff
Artist’s Bio
“My goal is to
bring fabric surfaces closer to fine
paintings, while retaining the unmistakable wonder of fibre
manipulation.”
Kirsten has been involved
in needlework since the age of five when she
embroidered her first iron-on transfer of a butterfly. She holds a
diploma of Textile Art from Capilano College in North Vancouver;
received the Visual Arts Development Award in 2006; and has written for
publications such as Quilting Arts Magazine. Kirsten has exhibited her
work in solo and group exhibitions in the Greater Vancouver area, which
has resulted in pieces travelling to private collections around the
world. Currently, her interests revolve around design, research and
writing.
Kirsten’s fibre
art techniques span the “Art
Quilt” realm and include hand stitching, raw-edge
appliqué and free-motion machine embroidery. Having a
comprehensive grasp of techniques is important for her work, and has
propelled the development of her unique style of illustrative
expression.
