Cork Artist Helen Condon Featured on the Cover of Celtic Life International Magazine

I’m incredibly proud to share that my painting of Shandon, Cork was selected for the cover of Celtic Life International Magazine’s Mid-Spring 2025 edition. Alongside this, I was honoured to be interviewed for a feature inside the issue that highlights my journey as a contemporary Irish artist.

As someone born and raised in Cork City, this moment is deeply personal. In the article, I share insights into my background, my love for colour and texture, and the creative inspiration I find in both urban cityscapes and peaceful Irish coastlines.

From painting vibrant scenes of Cork to reflecting on the need for more public art opportunities locally, the feature explores what drives me as an artist.

“Painting gives me purpose, energy, and endless room to grow... That drive to learn and evolve is a huge part of why I continue to paint today.”

I’m so grateful to Celtic Life International for shining a light on Irish creatives, and to everyone who supports my work.
