Olive has been making art for as long as she can remember. The Olive Stack Gallery opened its doors in Listowel, Ireland in 1998, it has been at the heart of the community for 27 years.
Much of Olive's work is inspired by nature. The flora and fauna, the changing light and seasons all feed her creative practice. Olive works in a diverse range of mediums including Oil, Watercolour, Encaustic, Mosaic, Stone Art and most recently Micro Mosaics.

from 32 reviewsCan’t wait to do it again. The model was superb.
Great guidance and I loved the end result.
Loved this workshop with Emily Andress, fantastic teacher and a really fun workshop. A new experience for me as I usually paint animals and wildlife in acrylics, so venturing into Fauvist portraiture in oils was well out of my comfort zone and all the more enjoyable for it! Fantastic, would highly recommend!
Very informative! Plus just a whole lot of fun with the high energy high positivity Emily Andress. !!
Loved it and found a new way to do mosaics thanks for the opportunity Olive. Silly was a great teacher.
I bought this for a birthday gift and didn't get it framed so as to give the opportunity to exchange it for a different one if desired but it was loved and appreciated. I have it in for framing at the moment.
I love this print. I llve in London and this print was given as a wedding gift . It brings me such wonderful memories of my childhood playing on the beach in Ballybunion with my sisters and cousins on long sunny summer days. Olive is so talented and captures thoese moments so vividly. This is the present that keeps on giving. Thank you, Lillian Moloney
Couldn’t leave with just one, so I picked the perfect mate. Can’t wait to jang them.
Was instantly “drawn” to Olive’s figure painting! She’s an amazing, versatile artist, a master of everything and just a really cool person to boot.
My beautiful pendant! Handmade by a talented artist with love and a commitment to creating one off pieces of art that can be worn. So pleased with my purchase. Most highly recommended.
