Kirsten Stromberg was born in San Francisco, USA  and currently lives in Italy teaching art at Syracuse University Florence. Her work investigates issues of representation and perception through various media from sound to video to collage, installation and painting.

In 2005 she completed her MFA in Arts and Consciousness Studies at John F.
