Category Artist

Hi, my name is Mary Ahearne. I am a Westmeath-based artist. I have gained a QQI Level 8 degree in fine art and have exhibited work in different mediums across the county.

Irena, born in Yogyakarta in 1987, watched her father, an artist himself, make beautiful batik and oil paintings. He inspired her to become an artist.

I started like a lot of people during the first lockdown. I had finished tidying my garden and when I started in the shed I found a couple of moulds I'd bought years ago and out of boredom I thought I'd do a few castings for fun.
