Marita O'Hanlon is a visual artist based in Sligo, Ireland, and a recent graduate of the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. Her painting centers on emotional landscapes that capture both the joy and solace found in nature.
 

Her most recent body of work delves into states of change, exploring surfaces that embody both stability and fluctuation and revealing the adaptable potential within these spaces. Through the interplay of light, shadow, and color, the work reveals the transformative and restorative power of the natural world. Inspired by the rugged landscapes of the west of Ireland, each piece invites viewers to connect with nature's rhythms and find moments of quiet celebration in its cycles of transformation.
