Noelle O’Keeffe painter/printmaker

“My upbringing in the countryside in Co. Westmeath, surrounded by fields, trees and flowers has had a profound effect on my development as an artist. I am inspired by the beauty of nature, the curve of a leaf, the fragility of a petal, reflections in water, patterns, and above all colour. My style is fluid. My work in oils tends to be bold and exuberant. When etching, I favour techniques such as sugar lift and spit biting which generate a painterly effect, testament to my background as a painter”
