About the Artist

Mary Nolan O’Brien

Most artists are influenced by their environment - the physical place and deeply ingrained memories from their formative years.   This is particularly true for Mary Nolan O'Brien.
Nestling on the edge of Dromkeen Wood is Mulberry Studio. In this creative corner Mary Nolan O Brien brings alive on canvas scenes from the Bandon and Innishannon Valley. Her inspiration is drawn from a rural landscape, close to nature, which together weave a magic that mesmerises the viewer.

But her palette stretches much further afield, including scenic views from around the country, Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise. Working in oils, water colour and pastel, she puts wings beneath dreams.  The atmosphere of a traveller camp, now gone from the landscape, expressed in watercolour with amazing athmospheric detail.
The freshness of spring with new growth and and moist greens are delicately reproduced by the artist.

Also on display in her woodland studio are originals and prints of beautiful sunsets and bluebells woods. Limited editions of wonderfully produced prints brings certain paintings into a very accessible price range. Some of these local scenes are available in beautiful cards to mark a special occasion.

Over the last five years Mary had two sell out exhibitions which resulted in many commissions for specific works in her various medium. Her wonderful range of Christmas cards delighted many recipients each year. This little studio is a haven in an idyllic woodland setting, where many dreams have come true both for the artist and those who own one of her delightful paintings.
