Colleagues of mine after a visit to Mexico brought Kirsti''s much admired art to my attention just yesterday. After having seen some of it on the Zihrena and other websites, I share the admiration of her work. I hope a lot of it finds it way back to Finland (where my paternal grandmother, born in 1874 s Bertha Toernudd, was among the first lady students at Ateneum. One of her teachers was Helene Scherfbeck - whose small oil-on-canvas of a hyacinth I unfortunately have lost during my nomadic life). May Kirsti''s memory and art live long to the comfort and inspiration of many in all the places she lived in and beyond.
