In early 1990, as a part time student at Emily Carr College in Vancouver, Kira realized that her lifetime love of drawing could take a new direction and she began to explore with acrylic paints. Moving to the Comox Valley and being a mother put her creativity on hold and it wasn't until 2005 with a new perspective and new inspiration she began to paint again, this time incorporating new medium onto the canvas.
Water has always intrigued Kira, as has the beauty and mystery of forests and the memories of her grandmother's wild, secret and vibrant garden. Depth, movement and texture are essential in the creation of her artwork.
Kira lives in beautiful Black Creek with her partner Scott, her two dynamic children, dogs Sage and Hurley, cat Stormy, many chickens and a big wild garden.
