Artist Bernadette Carter

Artist Bernadette Carter paints landscapes and seascapes, portraits that evoke a sense of warmth and intimacy and often feature children

An Overview of the Work of Artist Bernadette Carter

Bernadette Carter is an artist based in Gorey, Wexford. She has had her work exhibited widely across Ireland, including at the RHA Gallagher Gallery in Dublin, Trinity Gallery Dublin, Green Acres Gallery Wexford, and Oireachtas Annual and Eigse Carlow. Her vibrant works are inspired by Irish culture and everyday life, with a focus on landscapes and seascapes. This blog post will provide insight into her artwork and how it reflects her background.


Bernadette’s Artwork
Bernadette’s artworks typically feature bright colours juxtaposed against a muted background. Many of her pieces depict Irish landscapes or seascapes—from country roads to rolling hills to the ever-changing ocean horizon. Her signature style combines realism with impressionistic elements; she captures both the beauty and intensity of nature in her artworks using oil paints, acrylics, charcoal and mixed media techniques.

In addition to landscapes and seascapes, Bernadette also creates portraits that evoke a sense of warmth and intimacy. In these pieces—which often feature children or animals—she focuses on capturing emotion through expression rather than strict realism. Her use of vivid colours lends a vibrancy to these works that draws viewers in effortlessly.

Drawing Inspiration from Irish Culture
Bernadette’s artworks are deeply rooted in Irish culture. She takes inspiration from traditional Irish music as well as from the stories shared among family members and friends growing up in Wexford County where she currently resides. She often finds herself drawn to old churches, castles ruins and ancient monuments when looking for subject matter for her artwork—capturing their beauty while also conveying the spirit of past generations who once lived there.

The artwork of Bernadette Carter is an exploration into Irish culture and history through landscape painting as well as portraiture work that speaks to humanity’s universal experiences such as love, joy, grief and sorrow. From vibrant seascapes to captivating portraits that convey a deep sense of emotion—every piece created by this talented artist reflects an appreciation for Ireland’s heritage while embodying a modern aesthetic all its own. Whether you’re looking for a piece that celebrates your heritage or one that captures your favourite view of Ireland’s countryside—Bernadette’s work is sure to add some colour, life and meaning to any home or office space!

Artist Chris Quinlan

 

Chris Quinlan was Born in 1968 in Co. Tipperary, Ireland and now lives and paints in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath. His hometown in Templemore provided the foundation for his artistry and his love of travel and nature has hugely influenced his work.

Chris is predominantly a self-taught artist, painting since 1999. His work has evolved overtime, leading to a unique and original chromoluminism/divisionism impressionistic technique of painting with an eye-catching blend of rich colours and bold textures. An inviting and vivid style, sensitivity and atmosphere that envelops the canvas.

ARTISTS STATEMENT

My paintings are the result of my desire and passion to paint. Oil Painting gives me the privilege of creating my own order to things, to reflect who I am on this colorful journey of self-discovery and to be unafraid to share what I find.

My intended goal is to capture and communicate life’s experiences, moments and memories and convey my painted definition to the viewer. To draw the viewer into the piece and to stimulate and inspire them with its textures and colour.

I am influenced by colours I see, feel and experience. I am in awe of and thoroughly inspired by the old impressionists, particularly the works of Monet, Van Gogh and Sargent with their play of objects and light.

When I begin a painting, it feels unnatural, unorganized and unbalanced, I seize the moment and completely let go and with the knowledge of a new and colourful path, I excitedly await my next adventure.

I will require a thousand lifetimes and a million canvases to paint all the concepts of my imagination.

Happy Splashers Figurative seascape painting by artist Gerry Glynn

Irish Artist Gerry Glynn was born in Dublin and formed an early interest in drawing, painting and sculpture. Apart from a short period in the National College of Art and Design, Dublin he is self taught. He developed his own distinctive style in oil painting, but was first influenced by classical sculpture, the surrealists and eventually by the impressionists.

Grafton Street Flowers-Original Dublin Street Scene Painting

He is at home with most of the painterly subjects, being an exponent of street scenes, still life, landscapes and seascape. He has always expressed a flair for a magic realist style which is uniquely his own.
During the 80’s Gerry was recognised by winning seven top awards in National and International Art Competitions for drawing and painting including his magic real piece ‘The Ninth Hour’. He also achieved awards in National Portrait Competitions. He took the top award in an international competition in 2013 for a large night scene of Dublin City which was exhibited at the Little Museum of Dublin for some months.

Kite Flying

He designed and illustrated 12 large panels for a treasure trove picture book commissioned by the late novelist Desmond Leslie in 1980-83. He worked on background design and rendering with Emerald City Productions animation film company in 1986 to1992.
His works have been acquired by the Dept. of defence, NTMA, Castle Leslie and are also in collections in Ireland, Europe, United States, Australia and Japan.
Many of his works have works were purchased by Sports and TV personalities and he has a listing in Whyte’s Buyer’s Guide to Irish Art.
Gerry’s work has been exhibited at RHA & Oireachtas exhibitions, in many group shows in Ireland and abroad and sold at auctions throughout Ireland.

Norman Teeling Irish Artist

 

 

Norman Teeling is one of Ireland’s leading impressionist painters. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1944, Teeling graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin in 1975 with a degree in Fine Art. After graduating, he began a successful career as a teacher, stage set designer, signwriter and cartoonist for two national papers, The Irish Press and Sunday World. He also worked in The Animation Film Industry as a background artist and animator in Ireland, Norway, and the USA.
While Teeling’s paintings include many local scenes of the coastal region of North Dublin, his outlook and insight have been sharpened by his travel abroad, particularly in the US, France and Norway. A true mark of the artist’s versatility and an undoubted acknowledgement of his talent are the ten paintings that were commissioned for the General Post Office in Dublin. The work depicts the events surrounding the ‘1916 Rising’ and remains on permanent display.


“Painting to me is about many things, the most important being the elevation of the spirit and the celebration of life. I was never one to care about trends or fashions and all the ‘isms’ that go with it. In fact, I just paint what comes natural to me, however, I do believe that communicating in a personal and recognizable style is what every artist seeks and he or she must spend his or her life reflecting that style, in order to express his or her inner world more clearly and directly.
When I paint a picture or indeed look at a picture by another artist I want to be elevated, I want to escape from the mundane and enter a world of the romantic whether it be an interior or a landscape. I like to bring this feeling into my work and hope the viewers will identify with what I’m trying to express. Finally, for me, my inspiration is light and through it, I try to celebrate my inner world.”

Irish artist Ciano

abstract painting

 

Can You Feel it

Ciano is an Irish visual artist living and working in Cork, Ireland. Reflecting upon a past life as a DJ & Music Producer, provided Ciano with a wealth of influences which is present in his own individual contemporary art style. Working out of his local Cork studio, mainly in acrylics combined with collage and other different materials, his work can conjure up a multitude of thoughts and emotions, inviting the viewer to spend more time reflecting upon the theme and meaning within each piece. Ciano says that when creating a piece of artwork, most of the processing stages comes out of raw emotions and feelings, and I work fluidly, allowing ideas to guide me within that instant.

Artist Jelena Straiziene

 

Artist Jelena Strasiene

Jelena Straiziene, I was born in Lithuania (Vilnius). I began to paint, studying architecture (as one of the main subjects) at Gedimino Vilnius University (Lithuania), therefore I often use architectural elements in my works. Since I moved to Ireland in 2008, I have had several exhibitions, both group and solo. Now I live and paint in New Ross, Co.Wexford. My paintings are a means to express my feelings and thoughts, my admiration for the unique atmosphere of every moment. I love to experiment in order to better convey the mood. ARTIST STATEMENT In each of us there is a certain part where there are no taboos and conventions, where the main thing is the imagination and the freedom to express our feelings and emotions. That is what I am trying to open in my paintings. I look at the cracked paint on the wall and see objects and shapes. City lights reflected in raindrops, architectural fragments of old streets, all the moods and emotions I write in my imagination to then pass through colors and lines. Painting becomes a game of experimentation, it allows me to learn more about me and the world and a way of saying thank you for all that I see and feel.
