Maker Bio for Meg Harper - Peace of Ireland Art

Meg Harper, the artist behind Peace of Ireland Art, creates beautiful watercolour paintings inspired by her deep love for the wild countryside of the West of Ireland. Living in the heart of Leitrim, Connacht, Meg draws daily inspiration from the wildflowers that flourish in hedgerows, the changing seasons, and the quiet presence of local wildlife. Her work reflects her passion for capturing the simple, natural beauty that defines life in this part of the world.

Meg’s art is a celebration of the things she loves most about her home— from the vibrant blooms of native plants to the magical encounters with animals in the wild. Each painting is meticulously detailed, bringing the peace and harmony of nature to life on paper. Her love for her surroundings is evident in every brushstroke, creating pieces that resonate with the tranquillity of the Irish landscape.

As a watercolour artist, printmaker, and occasional photographer, Meg’s focus is on sharing the serenity and wonder of her environment. Through Peace of Ireland Art, she invites others to experience the same joy and awe that her home inspires in her. Whether it’s through delicate floral studies or charming wildlife portraits, her paintings are more than art—they are heartfelt tributes to the wild, peaceful life she treasures.

Meg hopes her work serves as a gentle reminder to slow down, reconnect with the natural world, and find beauty in the small, often-overlooked details of life. With each piece, she strives to bring a sense of tranquillity and gratitude to the spaces her art inhabits.
