Aveline Craft & Design began quite a few years ago at a local market in Galway City. I was searching for bilingual greeting cards and found that the only ones available were quite old-fashioned. So I decided to make my own! My colourful and quirky greeting cards reflect a more contemporary Ireland and this style is also reflected in my artworks. I paint things as I like to see them in my minds eye - whimsical and fun. My palette is lively and vibrant and I use colours to represent the vitality of nature and my passion for capturing it. Using mainly acrylics, I work intuitively and with an open heart.
I am always looking for new and interesting ways to express myself creatively and my latest endeavour is hand-painted beach stones. The smooth and rounded stones found on the shores of the Atlantic are so tactile and I just love using this unusual canvas to bring my designs to life. My aim is to bring high quality, Irish design into the everyday - whether that be using my uniquely designed 'heart map' shopping bag, inspired by Galway city, or sending a card to a loved one. Design is for life, not just special occasions.
