About Sinead

Sinead finds peace and inspiration when surrounded by nature. Using acrylics as the medium, she alters the paint's consistency, and uses various tools and techniques, striving to capture the life and movement of the world around us.  The acrylics flow and mix together in wonderful ways, creating interesting textures and patterns within the paints. Her paintings are full of life and motion, overflowing with the energy of the natural world.

 

Sinead also has another completely different style when she paints in watercolours. Since becoming a parent, Sinead has also discovered a new love in children's illustrations. In a break from the more serious (and messy) fine art, Sinead enjoys creating whimsical animal characters, inspired by her families adventures around Purbeck. Although  in some ways the illustration is very different from the acrylic paintings there is a strong connection between animals, flowers and nature that flow through all of her artwork and the different forms of creativity all feed each other, the whimsical illustrations and patterns allow for a different kind of freedom, that of a childlike freedom and fun.

​

Sinead has been exhibiting work regularly for the past 18 years. Having work shown in the Royal Academy in London, the New Wave gallery in Swanage and Chalk's gallery in Lymington, as well as regularly exhibiting at Purbeck art weeks and Dorset art weeks.
