◆ PAPER TRAIL INSPIRED: Kirrily Anderson (pictured) said she has lived a creative life, drawing inspiration for her artwork from new outdoor environments.
By MITCHELL GASTIN
KIRRILY Anderson’s creative passion grew from the moment she began drawing in primary school and from there, she followed her artistic path. The 39-year-old moved to Chiltern just two years ago after a creative tenure in Melbourne where she splashed her art across the heart of the city before taking it to the North East. “When I left high school I moved to Melbourne and studied graphic arts, where after that I worked as a freelance graphic designer,” Kirrily said. “I was always drawing in school; I was really passionate and was right into it so I was encouraged to take the graphic design path as it was a more stable job… I enjoyed doing that, but I needed more creativity. “I think with the internet, social media and networking
around the mid-2000s, it became easier to branch out into artwork, so from there I was able to get my artwork up online and was doing music posters for bands.” Once Kirrily branched off from her freelance graphic design work and took on artwork, she found a passion for working alongside young people in a creative environment. “Working with schools and younger people has been a large part of my work in recent years,” she said. “I like working with younger people who are interested in art but don’t necessarily have access to the education on how to become an artist… because I missed out on that when I was in school, I like to pass that on to other people in a similar situation.
