Kira Rudjen
(born in Nashville, 1989) received her bachelors degree from Minnesota State University Moorhead where she studied painting, pastels, and art history.
Her work has been described as a slight colorful side step from realism. By using vibrant colors and energetic lines the artist invites the viewer to see how the artist sees, and to celebrate the beauty of the world around us. She shares her process regularly on instagram.
Rudjen’s work has been published across the country including Juste Milieu out of Detroit and Two Key Customs from New Jersey. At the end of 2023, she was the featured artist for Downtown MHK Winter show, where she exhibited her newest body of work “Artist As” alongside other pieces from 2023.
She is currently preparing to participate in several plein air festivals in Kansas City and Manhattan KS this coming July.
