Hello, I'm Aileen...

​

I’m an abstract artist, from Ireland, currently living in London.

I began my artistic journey a few years ago after deciding to leave my office job in the city to focus on what I truly love. It was pretty terrifying but I knew it was the only way to happiness.

 

I am primarily self-taught however I grew up watching my very creative Mother paint from an early age. I was always fascinated by the exotic names of the paints and the transformation that came from mixing colours.

​

The major theme of my work is emotion. I want to make a feeling visible to you in the colours, movement and the energy of the paint. 

​

Whether I’m painting about love, heartbreak, grief, the afterlife or those moments in life that change you forever. I want to extract the power of that emotion and translate it on canvas.

​

I believe the sea and emotions are woven so closely together; I find it a great visual for expressing how I feel. When I paint whether it is about dealing with something very difficult, I always aim to find something positive in the end.

I genuinely feel the tug on my heart when selling a painting but I feel so grateful that a buyer felt that connection and now it will take them to their happy place each day.
