Ordered by an Intelligence so wise
As might confound the Atheist's sophistries.”

Áine Dunleavy is an Irish artist living in Stratford Upon Avon. She has been painting and sharing her work since 2002. She loves to create large statement pieces that own the space they live in. With every piece she tries to celebrate colour, either in its rawest form or through a combination of supporting tones.
She takes her inspiration from the environment around her. Greens from nature, gentle blues and pinks from the skies and intense neon's from space and the cosmos.
