Michael takes his art online on new website

-

CERAMIC landscape artist Michael Holden has launched a new website to promote his work. Following a long career in the ceramics industry in Kilkenny, Michael recently set up his own business, fulfilling a lifelong ambition.

As an artist, Michael has developed his own unique style, blending painting and ceramics to produce works that are both traditiona­l and contempora­ry. His painting is inspired by the landscapes around the picturesqu­e village of Inistioge, Co Kilkenny where he has lived all his life.

Michael has produced a range of bespoke products that will allow the beauty of his native place to be appreciate­d by people in Ireland and globally. His speciality is painting landscapes on ceramic tiles, which are then fired in a kiln.

‘It’s great to get the website operationa­l,’ said Michael. ‘It will give me the opportunit­y to demonstrat­e my work all over the world.’

Michael would like to thank Terry Bannon Graphic Design, Inistioge, who designed and built the website. He also wishes to acknowledg­e the grant aid he received for the website from Kilkenny LEADER Partnershi­p and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
