iconicireland is a new collection of paintings designed by artist Maura O’Rourke. These miniature works depict the warmth of Ireland with clear focus on the iconic landscape of the island.
Some of these works portray Irelands rugged sea scapes and landscapes, white-washed cottages, moonlit hills, stone walls and green fields. Upturned curraghs (traditional boats) which were used for fishing and have been tied against strong winds.
Others are inspired by renowned places in the heart of Dublin’s fair city: Trinity College’s front arch and campanile, and also the famous Ha’penny Bridge.
Prepared with love and care, these pocket sized keepsakes of Ireland and portable memories
