Through an intricate and whimsical interplay of materials and form, her practice explores themes of nature, wonder, and sentiment. Over the years, Kira has developed an intuitive, process-driven approach to making that embraces experimentation and the layering of diverse techniques—from hand-painted fabrics and wire forms to flowing landscapes and textured collage. Above all, she views slow, meditative acts of creation as essential tools for observing, processing, and finding magic in the world around her.

Land Acknowledgment
So-called Guelph serves as the treaty lands and territory with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This land has remained as a place of refuge and tradition for the Attiwonderonk, Anishnaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples throughout history. 

The land which we call Hamilton, is situated on the traditional territiories of Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee. Both Guelph and Hamilton are covered with the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources surrounding the Great Lakes. 

As a settler and artist who lives and works in both Guelph and Hamilton, I recognize my privilege and responsibility as a guest on this stolen land.  I often create art that reflects upon the natural environment that surrounds me, which I recognize as land bursting with a rich history, culture, and spiritual importance long before settler contact.
