Mark Twain is one of those people you'd love to have had over for dinner. He had a way of encapsulating great wisdom in a few words. Fran had this quote in his wallet for years but it was only when asked by a customer to do a print of it that this piece came to be. Initially the customer wanted the quote and this image but Fran felt it didn't work and drew this instead. It has gone on to become one of our most popular prints and is ideal for people starting a new chapter in life or facing change.
We love it and hope you do too.
Fran & Bernie

Inspired by the upper lake at Glendalough. Early morning at the water's edge is always a beautiful place to find oneself. The colours haven't fully come to life and there is a stillness coating everything. These are the moments when, with a calm heart, we can feel most at ease in ourselves and our place in the world.

This is one of the earliest pieces I did in this series. Called ‘A place to hide’ it evokes a sense of warmth with autumnal palette and the house, nestled, almost hidden from view. Whilst it was inspired by countless scenes I have encountered it is not of a specific place. Perhaps it is the place I imagine I’d like to be to enjoy some quiet time.

The Irish pub is truly at the heart of Irish culture. The beer may flow but it’s the tide of stories, songs and slagging that makes an Irish pub such a unique place. It’s not hard to understand why there are Irish bars in every corner of the world.
This image is of the iconic Temple Bar pub in the heart of Dublin City.
It’s hard to find yourself alone when you’re in one, whether you want to or not!

A mother doesn’t stop being a mother once her children are grown. Likewise, a child doesn’t stop being a child to someone no matter how old we get, how independent we become or how successful we might be.
We will always be our mother’s child. It’s nice to remind our mothers that we recognise this.
This piece is the ideal gift for Mother’s Day or anytime we need to let our mothers know how much we love them.
The focus of this range is to capture the essence of the subject with the minimal use of line. The one line pieces are, as the name suggests, drawn with a single line, the pen or brush never leaving the paper creating deceptively simple images.

The sea, stretching out to the horizon, possesses a voice that calls us to consider the endless possibilities that life has to offer each and every one of us. There is a sailor in all of us, waiting to discover our own potential and possibility. We wish you well on your personal voyage.

I’ve always been drawn to earthy colours - ochre, orange, brown …. I’ve always loved autumn and the colours it brings. I find them incredibly peaceful.
I chose an autumnal palette for this piece in which I wanted to convey a sense of rest
and peace. It isn’t an actual place but rather a scene from drawn from the memory of many places I have been and experienced that deep sense of peace.

Bar 1661 opened its doors in 2019 and within a few short years (including being closed during the Covid pandemic) it was winner of Ireland's Bar of the Year 2022. Based in the heart of Dublin 7, it is named after the year Poitín as we know it was banned.
The ethos of owner Dave Mulligan is deeply rooted in the promotion of Irish Poitín through cocktail culture. Well worth a visit.

Inspired by the Irish woodlands.
When painting this forest scene, David Wagoner’s poem ‘Lost’ came to mind.
The poem speaks about feeling lost when in fact all we need to do is be still, honour our feeling but not to let it encompass us. The forest knows where we are just as good friends know when we despair.
I find light filtering through the trees very emotive. The sense that even though we are deep within a forest, the light will find find us and guide us.
Be still, listen and open your heart.
