Kirsty Little
Born in England and presently living in DC.
Sculptress and Art activist Kirsty Little strives to find honest organic movement in both spheres. Formerly a Circus aerialist from the UK for two decades when a move to USA in 2011 led her to find a new path to sculptor in the art world. She is drawn to working with themes of womankind, organic anatomy and the struggling environment. She makes sculpture with porcelain, wood and wire, and mixed media. Her art activism works with communities and focuses on raising awareness of the plastic pollution disaster and the Women’s Equality crisis, through huge installations. She is Artist in Residence at Otis St Studios.
She is a founding member of Ch/Art: Chevy Chase artists group and chair for two years. Recent shows of fine art include The Phillips collection DC, The Athenaeum VA, The Fisher Gallery NOVA, Honfleur gallery and the Katzen gallery - American University DC. She founded and has curated 6 shows into the WOW project – 7 former shop windows in Friendship Heights. She was lead artist on the RightNOW project – a women’s equality interactive public art installation with over 1000 participants in MD. She is in the Guinness book of World Records with the most aerialists choreographed on silks. She teaches aerial skills at various studios in MD.
