This piece is all about summer and thinking about the fresh beautiful flowers, leaves and warm breeze and chilled ice pops. Pretty unusual for Ireland, but someone who has come from another country can dream about such a summer those few days that Ireland has glorious weather.
I am an Indian artist and designer based in Dublin. I am a self-taught abstract artist with a HND in graphic design. My work is inspired by my Indian heritage and my time here in Ireland. My work is based on cubism, but it is slowly developing into something more abstract as I try to express my experience of life through colour. She uses art and design, to integrate or give a voice to causes close to her heart. I have had exhibitions in Dublin and Galway since 2019, you can also view my work via social media and my website.
