After more than two decades as an interior designer, Moira Ryan found a new creative calling in painting, inspired by the ever-changing beauty of the sea. In 2021, Moira and her family moved to Lahinch, a coastal village on the Wild Atlantic Way, where the colours, textures and movement of the ocean sparked a deep artistic transformation.

Moira trained with the Milan Art Institute, completing [NUMBER — Moira to confirm] years of formal study, and works primarily in oil. Her approach is fluid and expressive, allowing each piece to capture emotion, energy and the essence of the landscape around her. Her work ranges from dramatic seascapes and atmospheric abstracts to intimate figurative works and vibrant still life.

Moira’s paintings are represented at Kilbaha Gallery, Loop Head, Co. Clare, and are held in private collections in Ireland and internationally.
