About Kirsten
A scientist who followed curiosity into art.
I’m a visual storyteller and lifelong explorer with a habit of following curiosity wherever it leads. For more than 30 years, I’ve blended art, science, and story to help people slow down, look a little closer, and connect with the natural world—from tide pools and picture books all the way to the waters beneath Antarctic ice.
