Artist information
Sinéad is a career-change artist, originally from Ireland & Scotland. She moved to Oxford in 2023, having previously worked as a doctor and researcher in the NHS. She set up Sinéad Plant Design in 2024 from her studio attic in East Oxford, and is embracing a new life working for herself and reactivating her creative soul. She is inspired by plants and animals and is exploring creating designs that depict these in a bold yet minimalist style. She plays with printmaking techniques (namely linocut) and tends towards saturated, yet restrained, colour palettes and enjoys playing with simple curves and lines. Sinéad also creates modern and colourful custom pet portraits, with a love of dogs! She hand-draws these designs digitally using a stylus on her ipad, and presents the final artwork as a giclée print to the canine muses’ owner. She is open for commissions 🙂
Exhibition information
Hello! I’m Sinéad – a new artist taking part in my first Oxfordshire Artweeks. I am exhibiting an online portfolio for 2025, with hopes to exhibit in person in the near future! Please enjoy browsing my artwork and check out my website and socials for more insight into my world 🙂 My online portfolio includes a sample of my custom pet portraits and linoprints. I draw the dogs digitally and present them to the owner as a giclée fine art print, on Hahnemühle hemp paper (size 12 x 12 in – the same as a vinyl record!) I started lino-printing in 2023 during a break from work, and am now settling in to a new life (and career!) as a creative. I love the technical aspect and foresight needed to design, carve and print lino. I have been experimenting with the reduction technique and use a cold-press laminator in my home studio. I am currently working on ‘WiLD ALBA’ – a linoprint collection of 12 Scottish animals.
This festive season you can find me at the Oxford Etsy Market (16th Nov) , Oxford Art Market in James Street Tavern (29th Nov) and Common Ground Christmas Market (7th Dec)
