About Western Exposure

Western Exposure I'm a smallholder and wordsmith living on the edge of Europe in the West of Ireland. I have always been creative on some front, be it craftwork, woodwork, pottery or textiles and in recent years have begun to create digital artwork and designs, either from scratch in Photoshop or from photographs taken with my preloved Canon EOS 60D DSLR. Being tied down by the farm - bar the odd holiday in Portugal (I'm a western seaboard girl...) - much of my work draws on my immediate (and rustic) surroundings, from plants to farm animals, landscapes and skies, textures and surfaces of buildings or implements. I often combine these into digital abstracts with a fairly strong bent towards nature's colors and distressed grunge textures. Lately I have also been playing with my photographs in other styles, rendering them into modern watercolor images with splashes, drips and spatter textures, or in the style of oil paintings or digital collages. Occasionally I also like to create colorful designs and patterns for textiles. Most recently I have gotten into non-digital collage work, acrylic monoprinting and acrylic painting.

If you bought a print or product I'd be delighted if you shared a photo of your purchase in its "new home". You can contact me here or on Instagram or Mastodon.

Since Twitter became unbearable I moved to @WesternExposure@mastodon.ie where I post most frequently and also curate a feed of others' art and photography that grabs my attention.

Or find me on Instagram at @western_exposure_art if you like.

Thanks for stopping by.

ps. For reasons: My digital art is made by me in a 2012 version of Photoshop (CS6), not by AI. My take on generative AI art is that it is soulless "instant art", devoid of graft and craft. More importantly, in my mind it also constitutes mass copyright infringement, as billions of images available online (including my own) have been siphoned into the underlying training databases (from which the AI images are concocted) without the creatives' knowledge and consent, or indeed any recompense.
