My artwork is a celebration of Co.Antrim, it’s mountains, coast and glens drawn from sketchbooks and photos taken over a lifetime of cycling and walking through some of the most beautiful scenery in Ireland. I am a full member of the Art Society of Ulster, the Pastel Society of Ireland and a diploma holder member of the Ulster Society of Women Artists. I am also the President of Ballymena Vis Art club.
One of my paintings of Slemish was selected by the Council to present to Liam Neeson when he was made a Freeman of Ballymena.

I pick what I call treasures from my local beach. They include Driftwood, Shells, Sea Glass and Sea pottery. I prepare them & then arrange them in several different formats on a MDF map of Ireland and place in a high quality box frame. They come on A5 A4 & A3 size. A3 comes with a plaque detailing the source.

Living and working in the Ballymena area I delight to go outside to paint the Co. Antrim landscape also capturing not only the environment but the animals in it too. I mainly paint in Watercolour, Pastel and Oils. I graduated from University of Ulster Belfast with a Bachelor of Design degree and then began teaching at North Regional College. I am member of the Ulster Watercolour Society and the Ulster Society of Women Artists.​

MOLLOY GILLEN
Email: jordain.gillen@gmail.com
Living in a world full of stars and a spectrum of colour, I am an artist and designer, based in Northern Ireland, inspired by love, magic, astrology, mythology, nature and storytelling. Creating work which tells a story or reflects on a particular moment in time, I have a dreamlike vision in which I like to work with, using processes that incorporate colour and illusionistic qualities, offering something you can only imagine from a dream.
LOUISE O'DONNELL ART
Louise O'Donnell has both originals and prints for sale of the Northern Ireland countryside and coast.
Her paintings and prints celebrating Northern Ireland and the surrounding area are made using various mediums including acrylics, pen and texture pastes. Some of her other paintings feature animals and birds for example, highland cows, stags, sheep and roosters.
MARIA'S ART
After a career of over 35 years in education and teaching its now 'me time' for artist Maria Hunter.
The desire for something different gave raise to my love of painting, meeting a whole new group of artists and using my love of ICT to further my art. I am an associate member of the pastel society of Ireland. My painting is inspired by the beautiful landscapes and beaches of Ireland which I enjoy walking with family and friends.
MAXINE CURRAN ART
Having been born and raised on the breathtaking North Coast of Ireland, I have always been captivated by its charm and beauty. The region holds a special place in my heart, and it serves as a constant source of inspiration for my artwork. Through my creations, I strive to convey the essence of this remarkable land, its interesting places, and its awe-inspiring views.
U.FITZ ART
Artwork by Ursula Meehan - I joined Ballymena Vis Art club 6 years ago, on early retirement, and was motivated to learn watercolour, acrylic and pastel, begin painting ‘en plein air’, and exhibit and sell my works here and in Portugal.
I am motivated to paint any subject showing strong light contrasts. Commissions welcomed.
YELLOW OAK
TREE ART
As my name is Robin, I started with a collection of robins, I also have a series of churches. I was/am a teacher but have always had an interest in art. I left teaching for a number of years and started Yellow Oak Tree Art, the name was inspired from a trip to China in the late 1990's as well as faith, forgiveness, perseverance and patience. I use watercolour and acrylic paints, inks, pen and pencil, and specialise in word art.
