Heather’s Studio.
Meet the Artist
I'm Heather, an artist from Donegal, now based in Dublin. My paintings explore the connection between place, memory and nostalgia.
Drawing on my own photographs, experiences and imagination, I paint the places I've loved and the moments that have stayed with me. I'm drawn to the beauty in familiar surroundings and the memories they hold.
Through painting, I capture more than the appearance of a place. I want to preserve how it felt to be there.

The summer I travel to lake como, and higher on my list of things to see was this iconic bridge in Nesso. I was so delighted to see you with my own eyes and wanted to immortalise it in this painting, I even jumped off the bridge myself. I painted this from a photo I took at the time and you can see the hub of activity in this little spot, the town of Nesso rises up through the hills behind the bridge with the waterfall . cascading down the cliff behind the bridge cascading down the cliffs. I tried to capture the vibrant the colour and the activity through this painting.
Lake Como is is somewhere I just wish I could have been left for a month with a paintbrush and no one to bother me. Every single view of the lake is perfection. I’m trying to capture the magic in my Como Serise

This is such an nostalgic painting for me. I found a photo my mum took of my grandads tunnel in 1995 the year before I was born. My grandads tunnel was his pride and joy. I have so many memories with him here and I could smell the tomatoes straight from the photo. In painting this I was hoping to capture that nostalgia, the smell of tomatoes, the heat of the tunnel and the feeling of sand under my feet.
