Jackie O - The Studio Director

 

Artist Statement

Living in Ireland, people and nature completely immerse me in their beauty. They are a constant stimulus to my creative expression. In my paintings I strive not to solely capture the outward appearance of things, but their significance for me.

I aim to create artworks which nurture the human spirit and provide stimulation and enjoyment to our lives.  I believe that people need more than the simple necessities of food, shelter and security. We should also satisfy our intellectual curiosity, fulfil our aspirations and nurture our spiritual and emotional wellbeing.

I see my paintings as my unique finger print on the world, my interpretations of images I have dreamed, imagined or seen. As an artist my goal is achieved when people tell me that my artworks speak to them, when my creations touch their hearts and also lift their spirits. My paintings explore, which is my message to you; enjoy it, explore it, be sensitive and respond to the colours and the spirit of my art.
