Karen Donoghue Artwork

I am a mixed- media artist, living locally in Naas.Having graduated from Limerick College of Art & Design in 1990 and worked in design for many years,I am now a Mum of 3 boys…
Art is my sanity!
Inspired by nature,the landscape and love of natural materials,my artwork currently explores the ancient technique of ‘encaustic’ painting.Using molten beeswax,tree resin & pigments,each layer is fused with heat to a wooden cradle.The buttery ‘encaustic’ medium creates a luminosity that reflects the light.Textures are built up and carved out to give my artwork a 3-dimensional quality.
