About the Artist

Marion Rose Mc Fadden draws her inspiration from Ireland's rugged Northwest coast. Originally from The Rosses in County Donegal, she now works from her studio on the edge of the Atlantic, Donegal and Leitrim.

Clann Lír and Other Stories is the latest collection - sensual and evocative images charged with emotion and purpose.

Her distinctive images reflect this myth-woven landscape in all its intensity, the séan scéalta, our heritage, the legends and living beauty.

Resonating with ancestral memory,the magic of light and half-light, these paintings celebrate the echoes of what once was, and is yet evidenced by land and by character. Go maíre siad go deo...
