Category Meet the Artist

I want to share a journey that began for me in an unexpected yet magical way, one that unfolded with profound purpose and healing. It all started at the Moon Mná Festival 2022, a place alive with the energies of powerful female leaders, sacred rituals, and vibrant sisterhood. In that space, among ceremonies, breathwork, and card readings, one experience changed me: a rose healing session with Celine Florence.

We recently caught up with Nikki Solyom to talk to her about the powerful art that she creates - resin & orgonite pyramids, pendants & other objects...

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.
