Kjersti Dirdal
Painter, lives & works in Stavanger, Norway
I have been painting and drawing nearly all my life, and I love to devote my time to making art.
​
My studio is located in the heart of the lovely Fargegaten at "Det Lilla Galleriet",
( The Purple gallery) in downtown Stavanger.
I welcome visitors to come and take a look at my work. In the summer you will fine the "Open Studio" sign outside - So please come in and say Hello!
Also if you’re interested in seeing my art firsthand, you can contact me to book an appointment.
As an artist, I love to connect with people and share my passion for art and painting.
You can also join me in my studio for a paint and sip night, or simply browse my collection of paintings.
