Kirsty Mitchell

Mitchell is an English artist, her earliest memories were always of the stories read to her by her mother as a child. Her mother instilled in her an imagination and a belief in beauty, which became Mitchells root and the place she would constantly return to in her work.

After her mothers death photography engulted Mitchell, she found herself producing pieces that echoed the memories of her mother's stories. By combining her various backgrounds, she started to create images in which everything was made or designed by Mitchell, with the occassional help of a few friends.






I love her work, the exquisitness of the photographs, the attention to detail. I have always loved fairytales and now hope to into my work, the fantasy of another world, a different time, a different place.
