Kirsten Todd | Featured Artist Summer 2025

Kirsten Todd
Artist
Kirsten Todd is a Lancashire-based intuitive artist and founder of Art at Vixen, known for her emotionally charged abstracts and divine feminine portraiture.
With a BA in Graphic Design and over 30 years in the creative industry, Kirsten has painted professionally since 2016, using expressive acrylics to explore connection, resilience, and the rhythms of nature.
Her Fragile Earth series captures vibrant, semi-abstract landscapes alive with colour and movement—celebrating both the beauty and vulnerability of the world around us.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and in 2025 she joins a curated selection of contemporary artists in the Harvest of Visions Summer Exhibition at BL6 Studios, Horwich.
Iconic John Lennon
In this bold and expressive portrait, Kirsten Todd reimagines one of music’s most recognisable figures – John Lennon. Painted in acrylic and layered with bursts of spray paint, his face is brought to life through an electric palette of pinks, purples, oranges, and blues.
Every mark is deliberate, yet full of energy, giving Lennon a vibrant presence that feels both modern and timeless.
The background hums with layered textures, symbols, and graffiti-like gestures — a nod to both Lennon’s rebellious edge and his message of peace. Look closely, and you’ll see moments of softness beneath the colour, especially in the eyes, which seem to watch quietly through the chaos.

Iconic Prince
Bringing the Purple One to life with electric colour and commanding presence. Painted in acrylic and spray paint, the portrait glows with bold contrasts, all layered with rhythm and intent. The expression is intense, direct, unmistakable.
The background is a controlled chaos of pattern and movement, echoing Prince’s fearless creativity and genre-defying sound.
His eyes hold your attention — sharp and full of fire — while the textured bursts behind him pulse like the beat of a song.
A visual tribute to individuality, confidence, and raw, undeniable talent.

Rural Pathways
A celebration of movement, memory, and the wild joy of colour. This isn’t a quiet countryside stroll—it’s a rush of wind through the trees, a blaze of late-afternoon light slicing through the land, paths twisting with purpose and energy.
Bold, expressive marks pull you forward—ochres, tangerines, sky blues—all crashing together in a way that feels both raw and joyful.
There’s something unfiltered here. Not just a landscape, but the feeling of being alive in it. Of remembering somewhere you’ve never been.

Ploughed Chalklands
Ploughed Chalklands is a vibrant, rhythmic exploration of farmland energy. Part dreamscape, part memory, seen through the unmistakable lens of Kirsten Todd’s Fragile Earth series.
With bold gestures and mosaic-like brushwork, Todd conjures the essence of cultivated fields under a lively sky. The winding furrows, painted with warm peach, terracotta and turquoise, feel almost musical as they sweep across the canvas, guided by rows of trees under a wild pastel canopy.
It’s a celebration of agricultural land — not as a static scene, but as a place alive with colour, motion, and humanity’s enduring relationship with the soil.
