About

Cara Helen Durnin is a self-taught fine artist based by the sea in the south of Ireland. Deeply inspired by the rich tapestry of Irish folklore and mythology, her work channels the wild, untamed beauty of the Irish landscape.

Working primarily in oils and acrylics, she employs impressionist techniques and vibrant, emotive colour palettes to evoke a feeling of dream-like nostalgia and enchantment. At the heart of her art practice is a desire to capture the magical, liminal spaces that are so intrinsic to Ireland’s cultural and mythological heritage.

Cara will be exhibiting a selection of her work at ArtSource, Ireland's biggest art fair, in the RDS 14th - 16th November 2025.
