Therese O’Keeffe from Ireland is an oil painter who started painting as a hobby, which later turned into a passion. She loves spring and flowers, so in her art work you can see a lot of indoor scenes, gardens and streetscapes of towns and villages in Munster.
“Painting flowers allows me to interpret natural beauty creatively,” the artist told My Modern Met, “and flowers give me the freedom to take artistic license to explore abstract and Impressionist styles in an intuitive way.”
By applying thick pigment to the canvas with her brush and a palette knife she creates remarkable masterpieces which gives her 2D canvas a three-dimensional look.
“I paint in oils,” she added, “so each layer has to dry before I paint over it and to create the light and dark shadows that make a painting stand out.”
