FLORA KIRK
BA Ancient Studies & MA Museum Studies
Flora is a UK-based freelance illustrator specialising in visual depictions of the ancient Mediterranean world. She loves to create art inspired by archaeology sites, ancient myths, and visuals that echo the aesthetics of a time long past. Much like the Romans with their statues, she is a fan of bold colours, and wants to break the convention that archaeology is primarily muted earth-tones.
After receiving her BA in Ancient Studies from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Flora spent a year in Transylvania researching Roman coins with the Fulbright Program. The following year, she completed an MA in Museum Studies at Durham University. She now lives along Hadrian’s Wall, with a focus on bringing local museum archaeology collections back to life through illustration.
