Kirsten Riise Kristensen markerede sig stærkt som keramiker i 1980erne og 1990erne. Hendes skåle, krukker og fade var præget af stor håndværksmæssig dygtighed og form- og farvesans. Værkerne var spinkle med enkle stregdekorationer i et formsprog, der på engang trak tråde tilbage til de stenalderens kogekar og til internationale strømninger i det 20. århundredes kunst.
I begyndelsen af 1990erne trak Kirsten Riise Kristensen sig tilbage fra offentligheden.
