In my portrait work I enjoy exploring what makes my subject, whether human, animal or plant, tick; discovering the subjects unique connection to the world around us, both spiritual and physical, and exposing hidden beauty, sadness, and humor. I enjoy the flexibility of working in many mediums and believe this allows me to capture the special nature of each subject. I often use my artwork as a form of therapy and healing and I end up doing a lot of self-portrait work. Out of my home located in\u00a0 Washington, Utah, I own and operate a small working and teaching studio, The Drawing Room Studio where I offer high quality, affordable, small group lessons, art work and commissions.<\/p>\n<h3>Links<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"yui_3_7_2_1_1359048824480_13435\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kirstenbeitler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.kirstenbeitler.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a id=\"yui_3_7_2_1_1359048824480_13436\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheDrawingRoomStudio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheDrawingRoomStudio<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Artist Images<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_16555\" style=\"width: 312px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16555\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16555\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/1.jpg 302w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/1-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All American Girl by Kirsten Beitler, watercolor and gold pigment, 15&#8243;
