Satisfaction

An Irish art expression of joy in the land of her birth, originated by Deirdre Kelleghan. Dee has been drawing and painting all her life. Dee’s latest handmade artworks are inspired by the beautiful landscape that surrounds her home place. The rugged Wild Atlantic Way offers many subjects for drawing and observation. Original drawings celebrating famous scientists, music and film stars are a new adventure for 2022 /23

“Drawing with soft pastels is something I love very much. The way they blend and offer energy to a drawing really gets me. Sometimes when I paint I like to use metals and other materials added to the paint to punch up the texture. When I draw and paint, time stands still, there is nothing else in the room only me the work and mostly jazz. ”
