The Divine Feminine - Practicing Detachment by Kirsten Todd

Award-winning, Lancashire-based artist, Kirsten Todd creates expressive, energetic portraits celebrating the divine feminine, female empowerment, and human resilience. Painting since childhood, she earned a degree in graphic design and spent 30 years in the design industry while continuing to paint. For the past eight years, she has focused on painting professionally. Kirsten’s intuitive process is a working meditation, allowing her to connect deeply with each piece. Her work honours strong women, their inner power, and their ability to overcome adversity. She explores themes of strength, cultural diversity, and the true power within us—our energy, emotions, and deep connection to each other and the universe. Her portraits give women a voice, expressing their essence beyond the physical, capturing their spirit, wisdom, and presence. Her work highlights that everything is energy, interconnected, and part of a greater universal flow. Kirsten’s achievements include winning the British Art Prize Edding Acrylic Award (2022), finalist in the Society of Women Artists Exhibition (2023), winning the Galeria Moderna London Invitational Art Contest (2023) at Mall Galleries, London, and receiving a Certificate of Artistic Merit from the Luxembourg Art Prize in 2021, 2022, and 2023. She has also featured in Artist and Illustrators Magazine, Living North, Artist Close-up Magazine, 101 Artists - Portrait Edition, and the Huts Magazine.
