Soft Echoes moves into a contemporary, tonal world shaped by muted palettes, soft contrasts, and intuitive pattern-play. Monochrome native birds rest against subtly expressive backgrounds, creating a calm and quietly intriguing visual harmony.

Evolving from Kirsty Nixon’s practice, the collection blends artistic freedom with the familiar detail of her bird studies. Organic shapes and gentle patterns – some echoing 1970s influences – bring hints of memory and a sense of soft nostalgia.

Though more restrained in colour, these works remain deeply expressive. Kirsty describes the process as joyful and intuitive, guided by her natural pull toward neutral tones and a desire to create warmth, balance, and ease.

Muted yet full of life, this collection offers a gentle study of contrast and the quiet refinement of Kirsty Nixon’s evolving artistic journey.
