My painting Neptune Fly Trap has been featured in this month’s Homes & Interiors Scotland magazine
It’s part of their “Height of Fame” design edit – and I’m so chuffed to see it sitting proudly at the top of the page, surrounded by some seriously stylish pieces. If you spot it in the wild, I’d love to know!
Big thanks to the team at Homes & Interiors Scotland
Neptune Fly Trap has sold, but if you love the feel of this piece, I’d be happy to create something similar just for you.

Andrea Birtwistle, WellingtonI have two of Kirsty Black's pieces, purchased a few years apart, and I love how they reflect her evolving style. The fabulous colours and whimsical names of each artwork reflect Kirsty's personality on canvas perfectly.
Phil & Clare Matthews, Kapiti CoastKirsty's work is joyous and accomplished. Her use of colour and mark making to tell a story in her painting is masterful. Her work is most definitely something you want on your wall. We are loving our painting of some years. It is timeless and beautiful and still thrills us when we look at it.
Michelle, SydneyThe paintings travelled well, thanks largely to their amazing bomb proof packaging. We have many more public places for them and they look amazing, colourful, fresh and interesting. We both love them.
