Irish artist and writer Roisin Duffy has exhibited her paintings and poetry extensively throughout Ireland. In addition her work has been bought by international collectors from Iceland to Japan and it is now it is reaching a global audience and becoming very collectable.


Neither an abstarct nor realist painter she incorporates the visual information of realism with the sub-text of abstarction.  Colour, humour and balance create art which lift the spirits of the viewer, as the concept that colour and fun must always be looked for amongst the dreariness and the rain and the depression of daily life form the basis of her visual world.

The landscapes she paints exist only in her imagination; a cleaner, brighter, warmer version of this world, one that is more simple and uncluttered, but that also hints at the undiscovered myriad existances that lurk just beneath the surface or over the next hill.

Her figurative work has a mopre intense edge, asw she explores the issues and experiences dear to her and the people around her. Her paintings are striking in their simplicity, while each has an accompanying poem or story which reveals the depth of thought and feeling behind each.

Painting and writing are an integral part of Roisin’s life in which she reflects her persona and her understanding of the world.
