Original alcohol ink artwork, fine art prints, and commissioned art services from Winchester, Virginia.
Safford Ink Studio is a personal passion project established as a way to keep creating artwork in the regular routine of life. I'm a young artist and I want to help other people achieve their goals by providing artwork — whether that is illustrating an author's long awaited book, or painting a mural for a small business to make it even more special.
I believe artwork should be more accessible and appreciated in all areas of life and by all people, and I have made it my mission to do so the best that I can through my various services.
Meet the Artist
“I enjoy every opportunity that lets me share creativity with others.”
Kearstin Safford is an independent, lively artist based in Winchester, Virginia. She established Safford Ink Studio in 2025 while getting involved in the art scene in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Kearstin is a primarily self taught artist, though she has a variety of experience ranging from professional illustration for publishing houses to painting murals for schools and private property owners.
While she specializes in alcohol ink as her medium of choice, her artwork ranges from black & white portraits to vibrant nature landscape pieces. She enjoys creating personalized artwork for people as well as memorializing her travels by making pieces inspired by her various adventures.
