Exploring the Elemental in Nature through Line, Form, and Colour
Hello.
My name is Éirinn Byrne.
I am a fine art oil painter.
My work expresses the emotional response I experience when observing the natural world. As I meditate on organic shapes, lines, and colours, I seek to capture the essence and beauty of what I have experienced. I do this by applying thin washes of oil pigment on canvas or paper, carefully creating paintings that are light and ethereal, while also speaking to the fundamental reality of the subject observed.
I studied fine art at the DuCret School of Arts in New Jersey, and textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. After completing my studies, I worked in New York City's historic garment district as a textile designer and colourist before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1985, where I focused on my fine art career and developed my signature style.
Currently, I work from my home studio on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia.
