About Honshin
The original paintings, sculpture, and jewelry of Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin are created with joy. It is the artist's desire to express a moment of peace and beauty that will enrich the life and environment of your home, office, or body. His art is inspired and flows from the sacred meditational space of the transcendental archetypal symbols of Christianity, Zen, and Tibetan Buddhism as well as the shamanistic practices of the world's perennial philosophies.
Born and raised in Seattle, currently living in Sedona, Arizona, the artist has taken extensive retreats into the wilderness areas of the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Honshin also writes poetry encompassing spiritual and social issues.
