REBECCA JANE DOLAN

A touch of the unexpected

I was born in 1992 and am based in my studio in Skerries, Dublin. I am a multidisciplinary artist and craftsperson working in painting, ceramics, jewellery and textiles.

I feed my knowledge of fine art and design into my hands to create high quality works imbued with a touch of the unexpected. My knowledge of crafts and materials mixed with my fascination of ancient history, mythology and structure create contemporary forms with personality. I want to tell stories through my use of pottery, painting and jewellery.

My pieces are for the people who crave fantasy in their lives, and
want to express this through finely crafted and carefully designed
pieces of art. I want my work to spark conversations that lead to the
sharing of interests and desires.

The craft and process behind my work is as important to me as the end result and I am always looking for ways to merge and connect my skills from different practices.

My ceramic tableware is made with the idea that every day actions can be made into a special moment. I love to incorporate tactile elements into each piece, giving the form its own personality.

The main focus of my recent paintings have been storytelling through portraiture. I studied for two years in Florence, Italy pursuing the tradition of atelier teaching at Charles H. Cecil Studios. I use my background in figurative art to fuel work based on mythology and symbolism, creating work that has the sensibility of historically classical portraiture but is grounded with contemporary visuals.
