Hi friend! My name is Shea and I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember!
In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I took up crochet and linocut printing as a way to express myself and fill my newfound free time. Over the past few years, my love for art went from a casual hobby to what takes up most of my time outside of my 9-5.
Affectionately named after my 2 cats, Orla McCool and Moira Rose (they totally live up to their names btw), Orla Rose Art was born out of my love for sharing my art with the world.
As you browse my art you’ll see reoccurring themes of nature, queerness, and architecture. Growing up, home was an ever-changing location and as I grew up and discovered who I was (very gay), nature was a constant presence that helped calm and ground me.
I hope you find a piece that inspires feelings of joy, empowerment, and calm, it’s what you deserve! :)
