Kiera Stuart is a queer feminist artist based in Bushwick, Brooklyn, whose practice examines vulnerability, relationship dynamics, and the connections between the body and the natural world. Raised in rural Long Island, New York, she was introduced to Native cultures, environmental justice, and principles of living in harmony with the earth. Kiera studied anatomical drawing and fine art at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Art Students League before earning a BFA in Studio Art from Hunter College in 2018 and an MFA from Brooklyn College in 2022. Her graduate studies in feminism, ecofeminism, and feminist art further shaped her practice.

Working across oil painting, sculpture, and ink drawing, Kiera creates figurative works that operate as psychological maps of embodied and environmental experience. Her process begins with journaling and automatic drawing, using repeated lines informed by wood grain, muscle structures, and biological forms. She photographs her own body as source material, occupying the positions of both artist and subject. Through this process, gesture and expression are placed in dialogue with natural forms. Her surreal compositions consider the body as a site through which vulnerability, self-perception, and ecological interdependence can be examined.
