Olivia O'Carra - Oil Painting

I am based in Killarney a location renowned for the beauty of its scenery. In 2002 when my daughters had finished college and had flown the nest I took early retirement from my work as a science teacher. I was then able to spend much of my time oudoors in the neighbouring National Park and indulge in my passion for painting. Soon I was invited to have a solo exhibition in a nearby gallery and a new career was born. I love the feeling of peace and tranquility and oneness with nature that comes from just being in a beautiful natural environment. I try and recreate and enhance  that feeling in my painting so that when you hang it in your living space you will share that same joy and contentment.

DELABUD CREATIONS

My name is Del O Leary. My studio is based in Cork City where I have lived all my life. I have tried a variety of crafts for many years but have fallen in love with polymer clay because of it’s colors and versatility. At the moment I am concentrating on a range of chakra angels, pens and jewellery. The bright colors and the meaning of the chakras are appealing to a lot of people as we all need some brightness and energy in our lives at the moment. Each clay flower and leaf is created by me into what we call a cane and it is then sliced thinly and layered to create a sheet veneer with a gorgeous smooth pattern. It is used then to create the gorgeous angels which can be hung anywhere to enhance the energy in your home or car. The handmade pens are the ideal gift for those that love to write and the jewellery is bright and vibrant.

AMOR Botanical Art

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.
