Welcome! I’m Fabienne, a visual artist living in a charming coastal town, on the shores of east Ireland.  

Originally from western France (the Vendée), as a child, I found myself developing a true passion for art, particularly enjoying experimenting with various types of materials – from fabric to paint to clay. This led, later on, to study Interior Architecture & Design, and then to my  enrolling at the National College of Arts and Design in Dublin, where I studied Visual Art Practice.

I find inspiration every day and everywhere, be it a quick glimpse of something in my surroundings, a unique experience or even just a moment in time. Sometimes, I simply like to capture a shape, element, or outline and build upon that to create a meaningful piece that will impart a distinct impression, with the goal of making a connection. My Urban Landscape collection has many of these elements. Influenced by my background in Interior Architecture, my pieces are more linear and shape driven, exploring repetition, pattern and space, and how these visual rhythms affect the viewer.

 While my current practice is focused primarly on painting, my background includes working various media such as drawing, printmaking, collage and natural dyeing. This experience still informs my approach, particularly in how I think about layering, composition and surface.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me, my art and my creative process, and I so hope that you find a piece that resonates with you.

Fabienne
