Kinza Kirkman
Hi, I’m Kinza Kirkman, an artist based in Wilmington, North Carolina. My creative journey has been shaped by my connection to this beautiful state, my academic experiences, and the rich cultural influences that surround me.
​
I grew up in North Carolina and pursued my passion for art at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) and the American University of Rome. These studies not only refined my technical skills but also opened my eyes to a world of rich art history and inspired a deep need to create with the wisdom of the masters who came before me.
Portraits are my passion. Live wedding painting has been such a dynamic and rewarding way to represent a bride and groom on their happiest day. I also paint portrait commissions for clients who want their loved ones represented. It is such an honor to be trusted with this delicate task!
​
I’m married to Robert, and together we’re raising three wonderful boys. My family plays a significant role in my creative process. They are my biggest supporters and inspirations.
