Simone Walsh’s original paintings are highly individual, distinctive and
uplifting. Born in Dublin, Simone graduated from the School of Art & Design
in Dublin. Her early career focused on illustration and graphic design before
she emigrated to New Zealand in 1992. The quality of light in the southern
hemisphere provided Simone with inspiration to pursue her professional career in
painting. She has developed her own individual style and technique that truly
captures the vibrancy and transparency of colour. Using acrylic paint and
glazes, her work has an unique three dimensional quality and her use of relief
gold paint adds detail, depth and texture to her work. Due to the mix of
mediums, Simone’s work can be enjoyed in bright light without fading. Based in
her Studio in County Wexford, Ireland, since her return to Ireland in 2000,
Simone has developed an extensive and diverse range of subject matter from city
and country scenes, quirky cats, fish and birds, home interiors to seascapes,
all of which she executes beautifully & with captivating charm and
character. Corporate Commissions include Allied Irish Banks, The Department of
Defence, Irish Life Assurance, Enterprise Ireland, Chanel College, Loreto
College and the Irish Dental Association.
