Kirstin McCoy's art is about capturing the essence, spirit, and energy of the world around her. It’s as much about the invisible as the visible.
Many of her paintings are based on drawings done on site in the countryside or in the towns etc. Kirstin also paints 'en plein air' as well as in the Studio. Kirstin's art is influenced by French Impressionists, Expressionists and Fauvists - such as Van Gogh, Dufy, Cezanne, Matisse, Derain etc. as well as other artists such as Hopper and Hockney. Many of Kirstin's paintings are distinguished by an energetic and extremely vigorous and free treatment of often thickly applied paint using both brushes and palette knives. Like the Artists that inspire her, Kirstin is also very interested in the expressive power of colour. Kirstin studied at the National College of Art, Dun Laoghaire College of Art Dublin Ireland and Rhodec International UK. She has qualifications in Fine Art as well as a Professional Interior Design Diploma. She exhibits nationally and internationally including with the well known Saatchi Art Gallery. Kirstin's Art is featured in collections in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, UAE, France, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Pakistan, South Korea, Puerto Rico, Qatar and Hong Kong, China.
