Hi, I’m Kira—artist and logistics leader. I empower women through art, honor my brother’s memory, and advocate for addiction awareness.

I love creating neon-toned portraits that reveal there’s always more beneath the surface. What began as a celebration of “bad girls” has grown into something bigger—honoring people from all walks of life. To me, everyone brings something unique and worth celebrating.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my big brother, who lost his battle with addiction. Through my work, I use bright, expressive color to show people as they are—and as more than they may seem. I’m drawn to celebrating individuality and the unique value each person brings to the world.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use the $25,000 to invest in what matters most—my art. A backyard studio would give me the space to grow, create, and build something lasting, while also supporting our growing family. Any relief it brings to wedding expenses would simply allow me to focus more fully on my work and the life we’re building.
