Leonora Reilly is a visual artist from Co Derry now living in Co Louth over 30 years.

Leonora’s inspiration comes from nature – the landscape, scenes with a sense of place or belonging from her own photo collection, her memories and family holidays.    Her work includes representational oil paintings, contemporary landscapes and abstract mixed media art.

While painting abstractedly, Leonora often includes mindfulness prompts and empowerment text collage hidden within the painting, she tries to encourage positivity and bring joyfulness into her final piece, so her art will light up any room or home it adorns.

When not in her studio during the  summer months especially, you will find Leonora at local beauty spots painting en-plein air - another passion of hers. Leonora founded the Louth Plein Air Art Festival in 2021, now an annual event for artists.  This festival is a wonderful way to meet other artists and make connections which last long after the weekend is over.  

Leonora takes a limited number of commissions each month and offers art classes in her studio.  You can connect with Leonora using the following links.
