Here you can buy prints of my works

My art is bright, bold and boardering on the abstract. I am enthusiatic about life and would love just to dive inside my paintings, live in a world of colour and joy. By painting all day I feel like I do live in there, and constantly seek going back. In 2007 I was lucky enough to show my Works at the Agora Gallery in New York, USA. A truly amazing experience, and I am keen to travel again. Happy to create commission pieces. email: iraartist@hotmail.com
