13 IMAGE staffers on the Irish artists they can’t get enough of

Sophie Power, Marketing & Memberships Director

I absolutely adore everything Domino Whisker does. I first came across her a few years ago and immediately commissioned her to make a bespoke piece for my parents as a thank you gift. I was blown away by the craftsmanship behind the embroidered piece she made us of blackbirds to represent each member of our growing family. Her pieces are so original and beautiful. One day I will also have one adorning my walls!

Dominique McMullan, Editorial Director 

I love covering my home in art, and have been proudly amassing a small collection over the years. Geraldine Carton is an IMAGE alumni and a seriously talented artist. Her dynamic and vivacious work is so full of fun and life and captures Dublin at its best. She was kind enough to send me a print of her ‘Disco Balls’ piece which is waiting to be hung in my office, but it’s really her female body portraiture that sets her apart. I have long admired her ‘Yoga Lady’ and her recent project on ‘Boobs’, where she painted women’s naked breasts in all their wonderful shapes, colours and sizes, was inspired and just beautiful.

I love artist Maser‘s work — the bold colours, pattern overlays, gestural forms and positive messages are pure joy. I have a print of one of his large-scale murals which lives just off Camden Street, and reads ‘Don’t Be Afraid’. It’s a lovely message to read every morning. As part of FlowState (an integrated lifestyle brand he founded with John Belton and Adrienne Murphy) you can also own a piece of his art in yoga mat form, or as a water bottle, which have just been released. It’s such a lovely way to seamlessly blend art into your daily life (while simultaneously getting you to drink more water)… a win win!

Hannah Stapleton, Marketing Intern

The walls of my bedroom and bare, and in need of some creativity. What better than adding a collection of some beautiful Irish prints? I love this ‘Gaeilge Abú’ print by Éimear Alice. The mixture of Gaeilge and colour is the perfect piece for my collection!

I spend my summers in Co. Waterford, and stumbled upon this Dotterson print in Isabel’s Place in Dungarvan, and have been unable to stop thinking about it since!

Lastly, an ode to my love of New York… this JANDO Chrysler Building print. I love everything JANDO does, and this print, part of their New York collection is no different. Maybe if I look at it closely enough, I’ll be transported to Manhattan.
