The Avalonlady

  I painted this just before the winter solstice. It shows how working with energies like Reiki and Magic feels and looks like to me.

Sheela in progress

Went to my favorite shop to get whites and found myself a set of foxes bones. Always liked to make studies of bones.

One of my Shelas from the Gods series : The fear Shela na gig.
You pass threw her portal  by letting go of your fears. Than she will take all your pain and sorrow, everything shitty, the whole lot. No bother. If you concentrate on the eyes you will see your fear concentrate on the moon, you will let go.

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.

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.
