Orla Colleton is a self taught artist from Newbridge, Co. Kildare. She has always had a passion for the arts, in particular art and music. Originally with a background in music performance and education, Orla turned to art when she had to leave these professions to become a carer for one of her young daughters who is autistic. As well as being one of her passions, art has become Orla’s escape from the busy life of a mother and carer. She likes to capture the everyday moments of the world around her; her children, her own frustrations, animals, nature. In particular Orla enjoys painting portraiture and animals. She is a member of Kildare Creative Sphere. In November she was selected to take part in the “where new here” exhibition, which took place in The Dean Arts Studio and in January of this year she was awarded a of certificate of achievement from the Pinacothèque Art Museum as part of the Luxembourg Art prize.
