Orla Walsh is an Irish artist who has come to be known for her graphic paintings, first discovered on the railings of St. Stephen’s Green where she was selling her adventurous creations. Inspired by bright and bold colours, stand-out text and iconic branding/products, she’s caught the eye of some very influential people over the years and her work is even displayed in the Heinz HG in Pittsburgh. Her first pop-up shop is open in Powerscourt Centre until May 25.
I painted the walls and built a fireplace, made paper stockings and used cotton wool for the top of them. The Christmas tree was made out of a toilet roll and a painted cylinder. My poor mum had to try and find me some glitter and in the 1980s, it was hard to come by! I made paper ring decorations and criss-crossed them over the top of the box to look like they went across the top of the room. The rocking chair was made out of wooden pegs from the washing line.
