Keiran Foster is a Canadian-American creative currently residing in Belgium. Keiran graduated with a Bachelor of Design and a Major in Photography from Alberta University of the Arts in 2019, and specializes in photographic retouching and commercial photography.
In her personal work Keiran likes to focus on topics surrounding her own experiences and journey with mental health. She has volunteered her time to encourage others through artist-residencies and mentorships to use their own practice as a tool to process and explore mental health struggles.
In her free time Keiran enjoys traveling to new places with her camera strapped at her hip, and imagining what living in such amazing and gorgeous locations would look like. If you’re looking for an individual ready to hop on a plane at a moments notice for a job, she’s your girl!
