Full Artist Portfolio

Time & Place

With a strong connection to time and place, Kirsten’s artwork reflects the architecture, landmarks and grit of her hometown of Pittsburgh. She continues to add to her stock of skylines and urban landscapes when she travels to new destinations. Kirsten's work embodies an intimacy with architecture, large structures, memory and pride. Her product line is a more secular parallel to the traditional religious art and decor she has always admired.

What is the First thing You Remember Making?

Roots

Every year before Christmas time, I planned a gift making project. I did lots of crafting, encouraged by my Grandmother.

I would do a different product every year, always Christmas themed. The earliest thing I made was likely something painted on glass plates, ceramic ornaments, or something made with Popsicle sticks. They were always gifts, and I'm still making gifts!

Family & Community

In an effort to learn a new skill and spend some time with her Grandfather (in his garage work-shop) KLoRebel started out and remains a one woman operation. A small brand with great influence from her family. Her textiles are digitally printed by her Uncle and up until 2017 they were exclusively sewn by Kirsten’s Grandma (and head of the textile department). KLoRebel has since become one of the first small businesses to work with “Sew Forward” an East End of Pittsburgh, start up/community program and effort securing job placement for their graduates, some being refugees.
