ORIGINAL ART AT THE IRISH DESIGN LOFT
The Irish Design Loft is more than a destination for beautifully crafted products from makers across Ireland—it is also a vibrant art gallery where original works can be discovered year-round. The art gallery is a space where creativity takes physical form, showcasing one-of-a-kind pieces that express the unique vision of each artist. Unlike mass-produced art, every work tells its own story, inviting visitors to form personal connections. The atmosphere is intimate and inspiring, encouraging curiosity and quiet reflection as you move from piece to piece, exploring new perspectives through colour, texture, and form.
Through our blog, we’ll introduce the talented artists exhibiting at the Irish Design Loft, offering insight into their work, their inspirations, and the stories behind each creation.
Alison is an artist working from her home in Co. Limerick, Ireland.
'Growing up in the countryside has influenced the way I perceive the world around me. Ireland, with all its beauty and its ruggedness is a constant inspiration. I'm fascinated by the sky, the seasons, the transitions of each day to night, and I try to show the emotion I feel through my paintings. The forgotten roads, old rundown cottages, the wildlife of Ireland are what attract me the most of all.'
'There is a story in the everyday things that surround us and I paint those that I find most interesting. Every now and again I drift between what is real and my imaginary world which brings an illustrative quality and Fairytale element to my paintings.'
'My current use of soft pastel, charcoal and oils allow a sense of freedom to my expression as an artist. Being self-taught I am constantly learning and developing my style which has been described as contemporary in its feel, emotive, moody and atmospheric.'
