About Elaine Watters Art
Creativity in Lockdown
As an Irish artist, I believe that everyone has the ability to be creative. Art is my passion and I find inspiration everywhere. I am a self-taught artist and my own personal art journey started over 3 decades ago in school, when I prepared my portfolio for Art College. However along the way, I changed career path and opted instead for a Business Degree and career in Pharmaceutical Marketing.
It's funny how in life you always gravitate back to where you are supposed to be. I never stopped being creative over the years, becoming a paper crafter, scrapbooker, jewellery maker, furniture up-cycler and more recently I developed my passion for photography.
I live close to the Phoenix Park in Dublin and find lots of inspiration for photography and painting from the colours of nature and and the beautiful scenery on my doorstep. During lockdown I enjoyed a creative overload as I poured my heart and soul into painting. This resulted in me hosting a 'Garden Exhibition' so show my friends what I had being doing in lockdown and from that Elaine Watters Art was born.
Over the years I have explored mixed media art and I have developed my love of colourful and vibrant textured art which often involves interesting mark-making and a loose style of painting. I am excited to show you the results now here in my website. I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy painting them. Thank you for visiting! Elaine
