Artist Bio

Kirsty McIntyre is a Melbourne based artist working mainly with palette knife and oil paint on canvas, with Australian themed still life subjects, and the native birds that visit her compositions. Described in a review by Peter Haynes in the Canberra Times on 4/11/22; “McIntyre’s use of pattern is beautifully controlled. The artist’s use of an intense light suffuses the overall composition allowing each element to be clearly delineated and hold pictorial autonomy. Light also imbues a sense of McIntyre's capturing a moment in time. The beautifully random compositions filled with freely dispersed floral and other objects have a sense of delicate movement, of the transitoriness of nature and of the innate beauty in that transitoriness.”

Initially self-taught she has since had private tuition and workshops with artists, Ron Reynolds, Richard Claremont, Jenie Fawkner, Nicholas Chen, and international artists, Ed Praybe, Susan Lichtman, Jennifer Poichinski and Catherine Kehoe.

In April 2024 Kirsty held her third solo exhibition , “Hope is the thing with feathers” at Grainger gallery in the ACT. In 2025, she will have her fourth solo at The Moree gallery and participate in the Affordable art fair in Sydney.
