Kirkwood's practice centres on oil painting, portraiture, and the emotional life of everyday moments. Her practice explores themes of vulnerability, beauty, labour, and urban life through layered compositions.

For her residency, Kirkwood will be drawing from candid imagery, memory, and the emotional charge of her experience(s) as a diasporic Greek.
