How did you become an artist? I was always interested in art. My first degree at the University of Cincinnati (DDA) was Fine Art: Painting. But two thirds through I changed to an Architectural Design course. After graduation, I worked in Boston and NYC for a while. When I decided to do a master’s degree I applied to different schools in the US and Europe, and the AA (Architecture Association) in London took me. I always wanted to live in Europe, so I accepted the offer and I

I believe, Boxing Day road trip or a hike is a must. Especially, if you are spending Christmas in Scotland, where stunning nature is on your doorstep! On Boxing day we decided to visit Kilchurn Castle - stunning ruins of the 15th-century castle in Argyll and Blue. The castle is located on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe.

While I have been concentrating on paintings so much, I haven’t visited photography exhibition for a while. Hence,

A couple of Saturdays ago, I was visiting a few galleries for my 'Weekend Wonders' series. When I got to the first gallery on my list, which was Fitzrovia Gallery, a lovely lady greeted me. As we started talking, I realised, that she was the artist, whose solo show it was! Our conversation (over a lovely peppermint tea) quickly turned into an unexpected interview about Fiona's work and life and I am very happy to be able to share it with you! Fiona Marron is an established ar

My guest today is a lovely lady, who runs Dolly Birds Art Studio in Belfast! We had a great Skype interview and she ‘walked’ me around her studio! I really hope, I will be able to visit Eimear’s studio in the future, but for now, enjoy her story and incredibly intricate work! Can you please tell me about your journey of becoming an artist? I was very lucky, as I come from a very creative family. I suppose, for me becoming an artist was all I ever wanted to be and all I ever w
