Kira is a modern impressionist painter known for her thick and juicy original oil paintings. With training in Russian Impressionism and Western Tonalism, she paints what she knows: the land, the people, and the culture of the west, Montana in particular.  Kira creates spaces through scope, scale, color palettes and subject matter. From the initial design process to the installation, she thrives on collaborating with her client’s vision. Her work is as comfortable in a modern corporate office in LA as it is in the Billings Clinic Atrium (the largest medical center in a three state area). She is able to create a body of work that is both appropriate and emotional. She appreciates the subtleties.

Kira is known best for her Tipi and her Aspen paintings. They have both become a muse for her, as they transcend earth and sky, touching both this world and the next. Living in Big Sky country, and specically in eastern Montana, Kira’s experience of seeing vast expanses of land framed by large, open skies inuences both her artwork and worldview.

You’ll find Kira’s paintings in six national galleries, two museums and the White House.  Kira’s work is promoted by Cowboys & Indians Magazine, Western Home Journal and Big Sky Journal.
