Kira Emery Brown was born in Salt Lake City and grew up between there and the coast of Oregon. She was raised by a slew of creatives that sparked her desire to respect, conserve, and capture the natural world through various mediums. Her father is a talented musician, her mother an eclectic crafter, and her other father is a painter, sculptor, and former art teacher. He was integral in teaching Ki
ra the fundamentals of artistic expression. Art has always been an important outlet for her, and in recent years, she has combined her passions for creating and environmental conservation. She created Shop Less Waste to sell pieces made from thrifted, gifted, and recycled materials. Acrylic and watercolor are her primary mediums, but she also does embroidery, knitting, crocheting, sculpting, and paper making. Her art often depicts natural scenes and organic shapes in the abstract.
