Diana Merfeldiene an emerging Irish artist from Mornington Co. Meath, originally from Latvia first discovered her passion for art during her childhood in the beautiful city of Riga.
However she never thought to pursue art as a career as she had been told from an early age that “you can’t make a living as an artist!”
She moved to Ireland in 2004, fell in love with the country, met her husband and became a mum to four beautiful girls and throughout it all continued working in logistics.
But all this time Diana was quietly dreaming of becoming a full time artist one day.
Everything changed last year when lockdown gave her space to rethink and revaluate the priorities in her life.
“Every day I heard the little voice inside louder and louder calling me to pursue my passion” she said.
Finally Diana made the brave decision to quit her job and fulfil her long time passion to become a professional artist.
She is now Irish artist from Mornington Co Meath creating special artwork and she loves to experiment with different processes, paints, colours and media as she interprets what she sees and how she feels.
