More about Shevaun Doherty

I am a botanical artist, natural history illustrator and art tutor living in Dublin. I’m very inspired by the natural world and enjoy the quiet meditation that painting from nature brings. I paint from life, usually plants and seeds that I have collected on my travels, but the occasional bug or feather gets painted too. I love the challenge of trying to capture all the tiny details and colours.

I paint the things that capture my interest. Sometimes it’s the beauty of an object that draws me, but often my art begins with an interesting story. The challenge then is how to reveal the hidden beauty. Teaching helps me share my passion. If you are interested in knowing more about my classes, please message me.

More about the Festival

Ellen Hutchins was Ireland’s first female botanist. Born in Ballylickey in County Cork, she specialised in lichens, mosses, liverworts & seaweeds. This festival celebrates her life, discoveries, and work. Now an annual event, the festival includes walks with botanists, talks, exhibitions, children’s events, and a very special seaweed event on Whiddy Island.
