Kirsten Boston was brought up in East Lothian, where she attended school in North Berwick.After spending time in London, Kirsten returned to Scotland in 2002 to open art gallery and picture framing service. She is now a full time artist and the resident artist at Hangar Art and Framing at Fenton Barns Retail Village, near North Berwick.

Kirsten paints mainly in acrylics and watercolours but increasingly works in mixed-media and her love of design, digital painting, typography and silhouettes lead her to explore and combine some interesting, ever-adapting new styles.
