Welcome
to
my website
Hello,
My name is Chanel, I am a Visual Artist and Creative Entrepreneur, a mum of two amazing children and wife to a wonderful and hugely supportive husband.
From my studio in our quaint, Irish Cottage in Hillsborough, County Down, I gather my daily inspirations to create my art.
As an artist, I especially enjoy painting works connected to nature and local landscapes, often using mixed media, most often acrylics, oil pastels and charcoal.
Please take a look at my latest artwork, I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
Love, Chanel x
