Noreen Walshe
Noreen
Walshe is a full time professional painter living near Navan, County Meath. After fourteen years of teaching languages, music
and art, she fulfilled her dream to study painting and graduated from
the National College of Art & Design in 1992. She exhibits both at home
and abroad, and has work in corporate and private collections in
Ireland, the United States, Canada, South Africa, and Europe. Noreen
draws inspiration from many sources – music, Celtic and other
mythologies, the healing and esoteric traditions of earlier cultures and
from work trips abroad to places like India, Italy, France and Hawaii.
She has also drawn consistently on the rich resources that the Aran
Islands, off the West coast of Ireland, have provided over the past
twenty years. She works in water colours and oils with a strong sense of
line and colour.
