My Art Studio in Galway City: An Open Invitation

My art studio is based just off Eyre Square in Galway City. Recently, I hosted a studio open day, which was a really enjoyable experience. It was a chance for people to see my paintings and prints in person, and for me to meet people who were interested in my work and others who popped in off the street for a chat.

Many based in Galway City would have seen my murals around town, so it was nice to open the studio up to the public. During the open day, I was showing some recent paintings while also working away on other pieces.

People popped in to see my prints in natural light, and I talked about my process and shared paintings that I've been developing that have a lot more texture to them. It was a relaxed, informal setup and great to chat with everyone who popped in.

Studio Visits & Appointments

I plan to open my studio more over the next few months leading up into the autumn. If you are Galway City based or visiting Galway and would like to see my work-in-progress pieces and the colour of my paintings and prints in person in natural light, please drop me an email on my contact page to book an appointment.

Alternatively, you can reach out on social media if you are interested in chatting.

Follow My Work

Since you've read this far, if you are interested in my paintings and would like to stay in touch outside of social media, please join my mailing list! It's a more simple way to stay connected, where you'll hear about my next open day, future painting releases, and other studio news, away from the noise of social media.

Thanks for reading,

All the best,

Shane

Kolours for Kolkata

In 2019, Shane with 4 other artists travelled to India with The Hope Foundation; an Irish charity working with street and slum children in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. They work to free children and poor families from lives of pain, abuse, poverty, and darkness.

The artists painted murals in the protection homes and facilities managed by the hope foundation in Kolkata.

“ I was asked to add some colour and brighten up the entrance to the hospital in Kolkata which provides healthcare to street and slum-dwelling children and adults. This was an interesting space to paint as it was a working hospital with lots of people passing through.”
