Hiya:) I’m Kirsti, a ceramic artist based in Peterborough Ontario and the creator of Gallery K.

A safe place to explore themes of loss, light, happiness, grief and whatever else I might be feeling that day. Each piece is made individually with its own voice, colour scheme and themes, no mug should be the same because no humans are either.

My goal is to create an intimate experience starting with a warm cup of whatever you like to drink. To bring you back into the moment and remember that it’s not just a cup, it's an experience:)

Artist statement 

From early on, Kirsti has always used her creativity as an expression of her own reality. She begins with inspirations from her own family's ties to religion, sisterhood, and emotions such as grief and innocence to produce physical moments. She creates tactile art that can be touched, as well as emotionally connected to; forming an intimate experience for the viewer. Her most recent body of work is focused on themes of rebirth and new beginnings. Blurring the line between fine art and functional ceramics, Kirsti brings familiar emotions into tangible experiences.
