Fine Art & Illustration

inspired by the folklore, landscape, and spirit of the Glens of Antrim.

I’m Eileen-Marie, a fine artist and illustrator from the Glens of Antrim. My work explores the deep connections between folklore, landscape, wildlife, and people — through traditional fine art and narrative-led illustration.

Born and bred in the heart of the Glens of Antrim, I’ve travelled, but I’m a homebird at heart — this place is woven into who I am. Its stories, from cultural sayings to Irish myths of fairies, merrows, and banshees, have always fascinated me. During my Masters in Visual Communication, I began exploring these tales in greater depth, uncovering the layers of meaning carried through time.

The wildlife — hares, horses, owls — the hills and valleys, the sea mist, the moon, and the flora and fauna all echo the pagan past that still lingers here. Their symbols and ideas continue to shape how we see the world today, and they shape my creative practice too.

These elements of folklore, landscape, and lived experience inform everything I make — in both my fine art and illustration.

About Me

Eileen-Marie is a fine artist and illustrator inspired by the mystical landscape and folklore of the Glens of Antrim. Her fine art practice is fully traditional, created through watercolour, inks, and mixed media that capture the textures, moods, and emotional resonance of the land.

Her illustration work draws from the same roots, beginning with hand-made elements that she later brings together digitally to create rich, narrative imagery. Whether fine art or illustration, her work explores the deep connections between people, wildlife, and the landscape they share.
