I’m planning to list some new pieces for sale on my website this week! Each one is an original painting created in encaustic wax on paper, finished in a solid wood frame.

My dreamy landscapes are miniature size. You don’t need a big blank wall to display original art in your home! Even if you have a tiny home, my mini paintings will fit beautifully on a little shelf amongst your book collection, in a cabinet as part of your curated clutter, or on that small bit of wall space beside your favourite armchair in a cosy nook ✨

🎁 Gift your loved one a piece of unique, original art, or gift yourself 😉

The Winter Exhibition is opening this evening at and I’m delighted to be one of the gallery artists participating!

You can find a selection of my new encaustic wax landscape paintings in the exhibition- many of them are miniatures, which are ideal for gifting as they can sit on a shelf or in a cabinet. You don’t need a large wall space to display original art 🖼️

Market Gallery is a wonderful place that makes art accessible to the all, as it is within Douglas Village shopping centre. Come and browse the exhibition and enjoy the art created by talented artists from Cork and around Ireland.

Yesterday I had the joy of visiting Little Corker miniature art gallery at 🖼️ I left a miniature original wax landscape painting on a tiny easel and chose a beautiful piece to take home with me!

So if you’re an art lover and enjoy collecting pieces of original art, check out the free Little Corker art gallery 🥰

😳I have to admit, I felt like an imposter when I tentatively put some of my encaustic artwork and monoprints into frames for the first time last year, and submitted a handful of pieces to gallery member exhibitions. Although I spent plenty of hours in the fine art & printmaking departments of the college, my degree qualifications are in design. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for most of my adult life, which wasn’t conducive to me thinking of myself as an “artist”. It blows my mind to acknowledge that I have sold a total of 11 framed original encaustic paintings so far this year 🤯🥰😱 My art is going on walls in people’s homes 🤩

The majority of these sales came from galleries and exhibitions, which I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be part of. And to have people reach out through Instagram to purchase my art is an incredible honour.

When I think back to the time I bought the kit after seeing Michael Blossom doing a fantastic demo back in the late nineties, I realise that I have been creating wax landscape paintings on and off over 25 years! I used to sell a lot of greeting cards, each with an original mini wax landscape. That didn’t make me feel like an “artist” but in the last two years, with the support and encouragement of the creative community in Cork and West Cork, I have been growing into that role 🤗

I will always be a designer, a maker, a crafter, a creative… but maybe I am an artist too 🥰Thanks to everyone who has purchased my artwork this year and supported me on this artist journey. Here’s to growing, learning and exploring!
