Noreen Walshe is a full time professional painter
living near Navan, Co.Meath in Southern Ireland.
After fourteen years of teaching languages, music
and art, she fulfilled her dream
to study painting and graduated from the
National College of Art & Design in 1992.
She exhibits both at home and abroad, and has work in
corporate and private collections in Ireland, the United States,
Canada, South Africa, and Europe.
Noreen draws inspiration from many sources -
music, Celtic and other
mythologies, the healing
and esoteric traditions of earlier cultures
and from work trips abroad to places like India, Italy, France
and Hawaii.
She has also drawn consistantly on the rich
resources that the Aran Islands, off the West coast of Ireland,
have provided over the past twenty years.
She works in water colours and oils with a strong sense
of line and colour.
