Kirsten Sims

Kirsten Sims is constantly working on the art of capturing gestures with as few brush strokes as possible. She defines her style as theatrical and exaggerated, combining the seemingly ordinary with a curious twist to reveal the whimsy of everyday life. She completed her BA in Applied Design at the Stellenbosch Academy, where she developed her sense of storytelling in her drawings. Having never had a plan and believing strongly in ‘one thing leading to another’, Sims has since completed her Honours degree in Illustration at Stellenbosch University (2014) and recently collaborated on a 2015 calendar with Anthropologie.
