DEE PIETERS

​

Dee works in oils, mainly with palette knife, to achieve texture, tone and depth.   A signature theme of her work is the play of light on water.

Large skies, reflected light, cliffs, the changing moods of the coastline, the juxtaposition of the sea and the surrounding landscape, mountains and hidden lakes, bog lands, heather in sunlight - all inspire Dee.   Walks on  coastal paths looking down on the sweep of a beach at tide’s ebb, or along moorland tracks which lead to distant places provide her with colours and shapes and contours of the scenery that she loves to observe. …..Yet she paints from her memories. 

Trained in the UK and Ireland, Dee has exhibited successfully since 2000 and has been included in selected group shows in London, Dublin, Cork City and West Cork.  Dee has had six solo Exhibitions and her work has also been accepted to many juried exhibitions, including National Open Art (NOA) in London. Her work is included in the Office of Public Works and in private collections in Ireland, the UK, Europe, USA, Hong Kong, and South Africa. 

Dee's painting 'Dreaming of West Cork' is on display in Brussels at the headquarters of Ireland’s representative to the European Union.

In 2008 her work was selected  for the Oireachtais Exhibition and in 2009 and 2012 she was invited to exhibit in the CASe exhibition, at the Lavit Gallery. In 2013 Dee's work was presented at the prestigious 20/21 International Art Fair in London.

In 2012 her painting  'Calm in the Estuary' was voted as Cork's Favourite Painting  by the public.

She paints from her studio in West  Cork and exhibits in the Lavit Gallery in Cork City, The Boathouse Gallery Kinsale, The Yellow Door Gallery  Baltimore, throughout Ireland and in London.
