Lafferty, Irene

I am a fine artist specialising in life drawing and painting. I also make artist's books and do printmaking. I make a living as an arts professional, with experience in curatorial work and collections management in national museums.

Although I have been practising art for many years, I have only recently begun to exhibit my work. I am a member of Brent Artists' Resource and exhibit regulary at Willesden Green Gallery. I have also shown art work at the Waterloo Gallery and Southwark Cafe Gallery, and artist's books at the National Art Library, Royal College of Art and Bristol UWE.

Observational drawing and painting directly from the life model is a vital component of my work. I work predominantly in pen, ink and wash, and I also work in oil pastels and oil paints with a focus on colour and emotion.
