Biography
Hello, welcome to Purinto by Kirstin. I’m a traditional printmaker based in Hertford, specialising in linocut.
I’m inspired by the natural world and the ability that art has to connect you with your experiences and memories – from walks, wildlife, the ocean and travel and even just spending time outdoors. My work focuses on the intricate shapes, textures and dynamics of natural forms; whether flora and fauna, birds, trees, geographical features, or the energy of the sea and clouds in the sky.
I love the handcarving and printing process – it’s art made in a very human way and even I don’t know where my work will end up. But that’s how I feel about experiences in the natural world – none of us do – and that’s what’s so magical and evocative about it.
I strongly believe in the importance of connecting with the natural world, and that original art in your home is a beautiful way of bringing the outside in and evoking a sense of peace, reflection, memories and reverie.
