About Simone

Simone Portrait Lifestyle SmlSimone Walsh’s original paintings and limited edition prints are highly individual, distinctive and uplifting.

Born in Dublin, Simone graduated from the School of Art & Design in Mountjoy Square, Dublin, and later she enjoyed a successful career in illustration and graphic design in both Ireland and New Zealand where she lived from 1992 ~ 2000. 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 original paintings can be enjoyed in bright light without fading.

Based in her Gallery in County Wexford, Simone has developed an extensive and diverse range of subject matter from city and country scenes, quirky cats, brand art, fish and birds, home interiors to seascapes, all of which she executes beautifully & with captivating charm and character.

Simone has now taken her best selling images and developed a range of branded products including placemats, coasters, mugs, clocks, journals, silk scarves and kitchen textiles!
