Based in the Pacific Northwest, Kirsten Geyer (aka KSTAN) loves to study realism and atmosphere with paint. A self-taught artist who discovered her passion for painting later in life, Kirsten is constantly exploring new ways of expressing realism in oil paint. She often works with found photos from the 60s and 70s and enjoys incorporating the color shifts of faded photos and half-hazard compositions that appear in these snapshots.

The best way to see a more in-depth view of her studio work is to follow her on Instagram @kstan_art where she shares sketches, plein-air studies, and in-process pictures of her paintings.

Please feel free to send her an email with any questions!
