My Own Art

This is a watercolour and colouring pencil landscape of Murphys Pub & Shop Ballylinnan 

I designed and created my cousin’s three-page wedding invitation with a blend of elegance and personal touches to reflect the couple’s unique style. Starting with a soft colour palette that matched their wedding theme, I used design software to lay out each page: the first included the formal invitation, the second shared event details layout of the day  and the third featured a heartfelt note from the couple with RSVP information. Every element—from the font selection to the paper texture—was carefully chosen to make the invitation feel special and memorable.

I sketched, drew, and painted a portrait of my auntie, granny, and grandad using a mix of watercolor and coloured pencils to capture their warmth and personality. I began with light pencil outlines to get the proportions right, then layered delicate watercolour washes to bring softness and depth to their faces. Once the base was dry, I used colored pencils to add fine details—like the texture of their hair and the gentle lines in their expressions—giving the portrait a lifelike and heartfelt touch. It was a meaningful piece that brought their connection to life on paper.

I sketched and drew a portrait of my granny and grandad, then brought it to life using a blend of watercolour, coloured pencil, and gouache to create depth, detail, and warmth in their features.

I sketched and drew a painting of my local village, focusing on Glaslough Station, and brought it to life using a combination of watercolour, coloured pencil, and gouache to capture its charm and historic character.
