Welcome to the website of Irish artist Aidan Walsh.

I live and paint near County Wicklow "The garden of Ireland" where the changing seasons and dramatic landscapes inspire my paintings.

I have been an enthusiastic self taught artist since I was a child, and I have used a range of mediums in my art, everything from watercolour and oils to digital. My preferred medium is oils. I have always painted, mostly for my own pleasure, or as commissions. However over the past number years or so I have been devoting an ever increasing amount of time to my painting and I have started to exhibit my work on a more regular basis. I have had a successful exhibition in The Wickerman in Belfast, and I have exhibited in The Metatron Art Gallery in Enniskerry, The River Gallery in Aughrim and The Gallery in Greystones, and at various local exhibitions. I exhibit regularly on Sundays on Merrion Square in Dublin.

In my paintings I attempt to capture something of the vibrancy of the landscape. I spend a great deal of time walking Wicklow's mountains and coasts, where the rapid changes in weather and colour constantly compel me to pick up a brush and try to convey something of the ongoing drama of the Irish landscape. The stone circles and ancient monuments resonate with a drama all of their own, and it is my experience of the energy and mystery of these sacred spaces that inspires me to attempt to evoke something of their Spirit in my Stonescape paintings.
