Irish Design Spotlight: Leah Daria Art

years, she's embraced her creative side more fully, selling her vibrant abstract pieces online. Inspired by her home near the Dublin mountains, her creations are bright and colourful with a fluidity reminiscent of the Irish sea.My name is Leah Ward and I’m an Irish abstract artist born and raised in Dublin.

I grew up near the Dublin mountains surrounded by a close-knit family, so I have a very strong connection to home. I’m lucky enough to be halfway between the sea and the hills so being surrounded by nature and exploring the outdoors was a huge part of my childhood, climbing trees and swimming in the sea.After my degree in Psychology, I went on to do an MSc in Art Psychotherapy at UCD in 2015.

In lockdown 2020, I started following some Irish artists online and they inspired me to get back to painting. I found it a great escape. With lots of time on my hands, I started painting on larger canvases as an emotional outlet for myself, so it really came full circle. It wasn’t until a year later that I set up my Instagram. I started posting online in February 2021 and I immediately found a receptive audience which was amazing.

Bristol is an amazing city to be living in as a creative. Everywhere you look there is street art, galleries, museums and music pumping from everywhere so there’s lots of inspiration. There’s an incredible charity called ‘Art Space Life Space’ which is an organisation set up to convert abandoned buildings into creative hubs.
