Hi, I did my degree in fine art many years ago. I paint using acrylic on board. The two subjects I like to paint are interior space and seascapes. Only recently l brought out a series of prints which are really great quality.

Visual Artist

Louise Newman

“After many years of being self taught I began my formal studies in the late 80’s at San Jose State University.  After returning to Ireland in 1992 I was accepted on to the Foundation Course at  I.A.D.T.  I went on to receive a National Diploma and Degree in Fine Art.   I have exhibited nationwide. In 2012 I was invited to exhibit in a group show for The Princes Trust at Somerset House U.K      My work can be found in many Private and Public collections including, Bank of Ireland, The O.P.W,  Department of Defence, The Flynn Hotel Group, The Haddington Hotel Dublin, The Blackrock Clinic, Irish Credit Union, The European Patent Office Munich, Touchstone Healthcare and in the Private Collections of many.  My present work came about through residencies at The Cill Rialaig Project in Co Kerry, Clare Island and  time spent in Connemara and West Clare. My Costal scenes are of The Wild Atlantic Way. This area is written into my life force and personal history. It has given and it has taken.   I try to maintain an assured use of texture and mark making and to play with transparency and colour of light. It is my intention to be inspired and informed by my observations and feelings about that which surrounds me, both visible and metaphysically. I strive for my work to maintain a fresh and honest expression, changing and developing in new ways whilst encouraging a meaningful dialogue with the viewer.”
