Kirsten Zirngibl is a visual artist who finds beauty in complexity. She treads where technology meets natural forms and systems.  She takes a scale-free approach to design, drawing inspiration from microbiology and metropolises alike, often using architectural visualization tools to do so.  Escapism is a driving force in her work, windows to alternative futures that communicate growth, life, and harmony.  She is a science fiction artist first at heart, with a focus on where that meets abstraction.  The mind's eye is another recurring interest. Having spent several years in the entertainment industry as a concept artist and illustrator, she is increasingly focusing on creating images and worlds independently.  She currently resides in San Diego, California.
