An oil portriat of a woman who is in front of a white wall. She wears a black jacket over a white tshirt, and her hair is windswept around her face, the features of which are quite abstract.

Elodie

Oil on canvas board 

Síobhra says: "I've been doing art since I was about nine, focusing on portraiture but eventually breaking away to experiment more. This painting of my friend Elodie, which I created with palette knives, was an exploration into the colours of portraiture. To emphasise this I simplified the eyes which are the primary focus of most portraits, to draw the viewer into the full piece rather than just one aspect."
