Kirstie Pietersen (b.1998) is a visual artist working and living in Cape Town. She graduated from Michaelis School of Fine Art (2022). Her work has been included in Greatest Hits at the AVA Gallery (2022), GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS at Daor Contemporary, Paper for the Turbine Art Fair (2023), and Offcuts at the AVA Gallery (2024).

Her graduate exhibition, titled She Guards the Things of the Past and Keeps Them in Store, was a visual autobiographical exhibition drawn from her maternal archive. She has since mainly used doilies cast in Plaster of Paris or Casting Stone, alongside old photo frames and family pictures, objects found within the private domain. These objects of material culture articulate social aspirations, how identity and culture is formed and projected. They call to mind aspects of collective identity and social relationships.
