Kirsten Jackson: Manifestation series 2022

In 'Manifestation series - Manifest a life you love' each painting holds its own affirmation, which Kirsten has written on the canvas as a starting place. Kirsten hopes when you see the final painting in your home you will be reminded of the affirmation every day, drawing it into your life.

'It is the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.' - Muhammad Ali

Painting for Kirsten is a meditative process. She uses art as a positive outlet; centring herself in the solitude of her studio with little more than her canvas and paints to create works that project happiness upon the viewer and herself. She moves near-finished works from the studio into her own home, communing with a piece for several weeks until satisfied it is truly done.

'It is an art in itself to know when the piece is complete.'

Kirsten's works can be found gracing the glossy pages of magazines like Home Beautiful, Inside Out, Real Living and Modern Home Magazine and her paintings were hand-selected to adorn the walls of nearly every room in Southbank's Aria Hotel. Meanwhile, her joy-sparking global journey continues with (frequently sold-out) shows in New York, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Hamburg, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Sydney and her hometown of Melbourne.

'I want these works to emanate a constant pulse of joy to and for the viewer. Then I know my work is done.'
