‘Cuirín’ Flowering Redcurrant
Drawn from life, this flowering red currant growing in our garden has travelled over several generations in Leitrim from cottage garden to garden and replanted by hand sharing love and family stories. In the past this beautiful shrub was planted as hedging in country gardens. Redcurrant is a popular wildplant with our birds and insect pollinators and is packed with nectar and pollen, great for biodiversity.
”Field studies” is a growing collection of original prints & pen and ink drawings of native wild plants, drawn from life growing in a meadow in Leitrim. I hope that my work will share a sense of empathy with nature and a focus of attention on our local, Irish biodiversity.

Hi, my name is Anna-Marie O’Rourke and I am a full time artist and designer from Leitrim.
I am delighted to introduce ‘Field Studies’ my first small collection of original botanical prints, fine art Giclée prints, cards and linen textile pieces. The collection is based on a series of original pen and ink drawings of a variety of species of native wild plants, drawn from life which are growing in a meadow at home.
I hope that my collection will share a sense of empathy with nature and a focus of attention on local biodiversity. With this work, I aim to create pieces which have a low impact on the environment and are sustainable.
My work is rooted in the Leitrim landscape where I was born and raised. I’ve always been interested in the small things in nature. I love to look at details, lichen growing on Hawthorn or tiny native plants which are often overlooked.
My parents come from small, low intensity, farming backgrounds in Leitrim. This method of farming which went back generations, was good for biodiversity. It instilled my passion for biodiversity and how we impact on it. I work from my small studio in Leitrim overlooking ‘Sliabh an Iarainn’ mountain.
I studied a BA Textile Design (Hons) at GMIT, Galway and a H.Dip Art Education for Teachers at LSAD, Limerick and I previously worked as an arts manager and art teacher. For me, supporting local businesses is important so I use quality suppliers local to me.
I hope that anyone looking for an original piece which is 100% Irish, made local and eco- friendly can find the perfect solution in my work.
If you are looking for a bespoke gift for Christmas, a birthday, engagement, wedding, new home or any occasion, I hope that you can find something in my first collection.
Where possible my packaging and materials are recycled, recyclable or compostable.
Thank you for supporting my small start up business.
