Grace O’Malley ( Pirate Queen )
(c. 1530 – c. 1603; also Gráinne O’Malley, Irish: Gráinne Ní Mháille) was lord of the Ó Máille dynasty in the west of Ireland, daughter of Eoghan Dubhdara Ó Máille.

The Artist
Richie Delaney a qualified Industrial Designer operating now as a full time professional artist from his studio ( Birch Cottage ) based in Mayo, West Ireland.
Richie generally finds himself painting on a digital canvas and he discovered some time ago that the digital art medium is a powerful tool. When combined with traditional acrylic and inks, fastidiously worked onto birch wood panels using brush and palette knife to create bold and powerful colours, the visual impact is spectacular !!!
Inspiration is derived from images and photographs digitally manipulated with thanks to modern technology to create an entirely new work of art. It is an evolving process to which he tries to capture only the essential characteristics in order to create a new body of work portraying his own ideal.
As far as style development goes, Richie tends to base his style from ideas, music, and visuals he might come across. In this illusionary art world of pixels, why not create something beautiful ?
It’s all about the colour splash !!
