Workspace with several paintings. I always need to have at least 10 paintings i am working on.
Sketches of seals transforming into Selchie, part of a painting of the burning ship.
The Merman is 20 years old and just recently i decided he wasn’t finished. So he looks like this now. I need to only finish little details here and there and he can go and breath his own air.
4 stages of the Phoenix. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I find the 4 elements in it as well with earth, water, fire and air.
A quite funny one between my so serious work. I called it “Freediving” and everybody liking the water can surely relate to it. I think the pattern of people develops conveniently.
The first set up of a figure in stone.I like particulary the 3 dimensional look of the leg .
Growing wings. the first set up

You will find numbered limited edition prints of the paintings “Scattery Island” and “Wedding cross”. There is a range of postcards of my work with price reductions on sets of 10 and 50. Why not send an art-postcard for Xmas and Winters-Solstice.
There are felted scarfs and the fabulous felt-hats. All 100% wool, some with integrated lace.
For the children you find a full page illustrated book about fairies. As a thank you for sticking your head in the door, I have a present for you: There is a printable version of the celtic shaman art “Dragon” easy to download completely for free.
While you are there, you might want to have a look at all the updates on my official website as well. In the visual art section, you’ll find two films of work before the year 2000. There is a first entry into the projects with documentation from the “Search for the divine female project” and some quotes in the text section. Cata Isle Mime Theatre updates under mime with easy to download brochure, the Irish Times front page and more photos featuring the solo show premiere in Temple Bar.
I like to give a big thank you to my indoorwebdesigner from Artvaark-design, Kilrush, who made all this possible.

Here is the Dragon. You can print it easily cause it is black and white and fresh it up yourself. If ever somebody tries to sell it to you , should be me. Cheers.
The dragon associated with the number seven.
7 churches on scattery. But some say 11.
May 26, 2010 - Posted by Astrid Adler- Comments Off on Art Exhibition: “No Style”
Astrid Adler is showing the Art-Exhibition: ”NO STYLE” during the Doonbeg Jazz Festival
The artist put this exhibition together to show the diversity of her work. Exploring abstract ancient symbols with charcoal and chalk on big tinted papers creating the look of stone, than, catapulting Celtic Art full colour into the 21st Century, where its construction takes completely different rules; you find Materialism still confused with Surrealism, Andre Breton still discussing with Salvador Dali if he is one, over Illustrations of local fairy tails to some study in pastels of the Stanley range, coming home to prints in Outsider Art “Scattery Island” and old favorite “The Weddingcross”.
Openings hours are: Friday 8-10pm, Saturday 2-5pm and Monday 2-3pm. Artist will be present. Venue: Strandcamping Doonbeg.
