www.iramitchell-kirk.com My art is bright, bold and bordering on the abstract. I am enthusiastic about life and would love just to dive inside my paintings, live in a world of color and joy. By painting every day I feel like I do live in there, and constantly seek going back. My work is currently showing in Italy and New Zealand. and previously in New York. Born in Queenstowm, NZ, I am currently painting full time in Christchurch. Happy to create commission pieces. email: iraartist@hotmail.com. www.iramitchell-kirk.com
