Biography
Ailbhe Barrett is an award winning artist, mastering both printmaking and painting. Ailbhe is a self-taught artist who was home schooled in her native county Limerick until she was eighteen. From there Ailbhe took up painting full time, under guidance from artists and art professionals. As a landscape painter working mainly in oils, she developed a liking for the scope of the large canvas from a young age. At a later stage she studied printmaking in Limerick Printmakers and Graphic Studio Dublin and continues creating work in both paint and print, constantly exploring the relationship between both.
