Artist Bio
Emer Whelan is a talented artist originally from County Mayo, now based in Galway City, where she has lived for the past 15 years. Her work is deeply inspired by the natural beauty of her upbringing near Lough Mask, where the serene landscapes of woodlands and lakes profoundly shaped her creative vision.
Emer masterfully marries these organic influences with the vibrant energy of Galway City, a place known for its dynamic arts scene and lively festivals. This blend of tranquility and urban vitality is evident in her distinctive designs, which celebrate the interplay of nature and modern life.
Specialising in wooden geometric art, Emer’s creations feature bold, vibrant colours that complement each other harmoniously. Each piece is meticulously laser-cut, giving her work a striking 3D quality that enhances its depth and form. Her designs capture the essence of both the natural world and the bustling urban environment, making her art both timeless and contemporary.
