About the artist
Currently based in Dublin, but from a hybrid of Kildare/Dublin/Wicklow. Gráinne grew up between fields, buildings and the sea with a passion for wild things and a sense of place. Working in great detail, inspired by Irish nature and wildlife, her work explores the natural world and urban environments with an enthusiasm for the connections we have to these places & their habitats.
After obtaining a degree in Set Design from I.A.D.T, Gráinne moved on to pursue a career in design and scenic painting working on large scale cloths and sets. Whilst designing for the Gaiety Panto, painting operas and working on large scale productions alongside a team, she found herself gravitating towards her own detailed pieces. In 2017 Gráinne released her first collection of GBE Fine art prints, inspired by Irish wildlife & nature.
When not working on intricate details, she is a proud indoor plant owner; brings her ears to gigs and her sketchbook on road trips around Ireland – and if she gets the chance, plunging into any open body of water!
