Dublin-born artist Fran Halpin has spent many years working full-time as an artist. This year, she decided to shake things up and explore a whole new way of painting and seeing the world. Having painted in a representational style for a long time, she began to feel creatively stuck. To push past that, she took an online masterclass, diving into more expressive and free-flowing techniques. This opened things up completely. By going back to basics, unlearning old habits, and embracing new approaches, her latest work reflects this exciting blend of learning and growth. “It’s a big step on my journey, and it feels right to share it now. My work will never be the same again”.
Not one to slow down, the Irish artist is looking toward the future with her next project and release of her next collection. An inspiration to budding creatives everywhere, Fran quotes her mother when leaving us with her biggest piece of advice, “If it was easy everyone would do it!”
