Last weekend marked a significant milestone in my artistic journey as I made my debut at ArtSource, Ireland’s largest art fair, held at the prestigious RDS in Dublin from November 15-17, 2024. As a first-time exhibitor, I was both nervous and exhilarated to showcase my paintings alongside hundreds of talented artists and galleries from across the country.
The event was a vibrant celebration of creativity, featuring a diverse array of artworks ranging from paintings to sculptures. The atmosphere was electric, with art enthusiasts, collectors, and fellow artists filling the halls. I was particularly impressed by the special events, including the popular ‘100 for €100’ initiative, which offered affordable art to new collectors. Delighted that my piece “Forever Bouquet” was snapped up within minutes of the opening day.
Throughout the three days, I had the opportunity to connect with visitors, share the stories behind my paintings, and gain valuable insights from more experienced artists. The workshops and demonstrations added an interactive element to the fair, engaging visitors of all ages.
As I reflect on this experience, I’m grateful for the exposure and connections made at ArtSource. It was truly a memorable debut that has fueled my passion and opened new doors in my artistic career.
I was especially delighted to have sold quite a few original pieces and am sure that their new owners will enjoy them.
