Meet Kirsty McMahon

Kirsty is an artist residing in Pukekohe, New Zealand. ​Art has always been an interest of hers but it wasn't until 2019, while on maternity leave from her ECE teaching position, that she found the time to really rediscover her passion. This began with creating floral designs with fine ink pens & has progressed over the years into creating highly detailed pieces with watercolour and acrylic.

​Kirsty is in awe of nature's wonders, and she is particularly inspired by New Zealand's unique array of native flowers and bird life.​ She hopes that her artwork evokes joy and helps to bring the beauty of nature inside your home.
