Hi, my name is Sequoia, and I love playing with colours, textures and LIGHT! I'm an Irish artist with a love of beautiful things, and I try to make art that brings a bit more beauty into the world with every creation.

​

I've always been a creative person, but only after 4 years studying literature and creative writing did I realise that I'm happiest when I'm drawing, painting, or simply creating with my hands.

​

So after university, I was feeling lost and uncertain, and I decided to do a one year art course at a local technical institute.

 

That showed me I love art, but also that I don't need someone to teach me... I'm happy to teach myself! I love to experiment and learn by doing.

​

So I decided to do 100 days of alcohol ink paintings to see just how much I could figure out. On the way I started sharing my work, ideas and process on Instagram, where I ended up with over 30k followers (that might be where you know me from).

​

But all along I've just been painting in my home, making do with cramped spaces and bad lighting. These not-ideal conditions mean I've learned a thing or two about resourcefulness and problem solving, which I'm happy to share with you!
