Biography
Soirsce Moriarty Kastner began taking adult-level painting and drawing classes at the Peninsula Art School in Fish Creek, Wisconsin at the age of 11. A home-schooled student, she was fortunate to have the opportunity to enroll in a formal studio program at the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art in 2005, where she attended until 2008. During the past year, she lived and worked in Kewaunee as a full-time art student, focused on representational painting and drawing under the direction of Craig Blietz.
“I am highly influenced by several Russian and Chinese figurative painters, as well as J. W. Waterhouse, John Singer-Sargent and my mentor Craig Blietz.”
Her works have been displayed at the Miller Art Museum’s annual High School Salon of Art and she was awarded top honors all four years she exhibited in the shows. Her works were the first figure studies ever displayed by a young artist in this particular exhibit, leading the way for traditional figurative work to be included from that time forward.
She has also shown and sold her works in the Annual Guenzel Gallery New Year’s Gala. In June 2008, she won a Juror’s Award at the Francis Hardy Center for the Arts 46th Annual Juried Exhibit. Her work has also been featured at Barnsite Gallery in Kewaunee, WI, at the Academy Gallery in Fish Creek, WI, at the Making of an Artist Exhibit at the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay, WI, and in a recent solo show at the UU Gallery in Ephraim, WI.
Soirsce Moriarty Kastner lives and paints in Fish Creek, Wisconsin but is currently living and painting at her studio in Shanghai, China. She is learning Mandarin Chinese and intends to pursue further studies of traditional Russian-influenced Chinese painting methods in China.

Philosophy
It has always been easier for me to visualize things rather describe them with words, therefore the idea of creating an artistic statement is very much against my nature. I tell my stories with the pictures I create. I choose to paint as a realist but approach my subject matter in a softer and more impressionistic manner. I prefer oils because of their capacity to provide greater depth of color and value.
