Cornelia O’Donovan was born in 1981 and trained at the Royal College of Art in London. Her paintings which are inspired by folklore and poetry have been exhibited widely and have also been used for exclusive collections of ceramics, fabrics and clothing for Anthropologie which have been on display throughout their stores in the UK and USA .

“Once she picks up a paintbrush, Cornelia is in a different world, layering colours and cutting and arranging shapes, to create flat paintings, stripped of all perspective and realism, which retells tales native to the British Isles. We were so taken with her work that we wanted a little piece of it for our own homes. We were delighted when she proposed a collection of ceramics for us that combines her love of colour, shape and the eccentricities of life with an everyday object.” Anthropologie

She has exhibited widely and many of her paintings have been shipped to customers around the world, particularly America where she has a dedicated following of collectors.
