Arja Sweeney is a native of Finland now living in Connemara. She moved to Ireland from
London with her now late husband in 2000 and realised that after spending years in the
business world, and then as a therapist, she was drawn to art. She studied painting under the
guidance of Galway Art Teachers and developed her own unique and eclectic style of works.
Her works are a rich and earthy mix of heavy watercolours combined with Indian inks, acrylics
and water-based oils. In her paintings the Finnish and Irish nature merge together allowing
the viewer to witness the evident spirit of nature. Arja has had solo exhibitions in Renzo Cafe,
Galway and also in NUI Galway.
