Jen Kerins
Hello!
I’m Jen, an Irish artist whose work is rooted in reflection, nature, and the quiet moments that shape how we see the world. My paintings invite stillness, contemplation, and reconnection with something deeper: a quiet inner power that often goes unnoticed in the rush of everyday life. My preferred medium is oil paint, which I sometimes complement with mixed media elements to enhance texture and detail.
At the moment, I’m working on a collection that has become a love letter to Ireland and the Irish language. It was sparked, unexpectedly, by learning about my partner’s culture in Brazil. As I explored his roots, I began to feel a pull back toward my own — to the language, land, and subtle ways of seeing that shaped me more than I realised.
I’ve been especially inspired by the Irish landscape, its animals, wildflowers, and weathered beauty, and by the way the Irish language reflects a gentler relationship with identity and emotion. This collection is about quiet inner shifts that change everything: moments where the world softens, where everything pauses, and anything becomes possible. I’m really excited to see how it unfolds, and to share it with you once it’s finished.

​While I'm building this site and working on my current collection, you can find a selection of my original paintings, prints, and wearable designs over on Etsy, and catch glimpses of my latest work on Instagram.
​
If you're interested in a piece you see on Instagram and it isn’t listed on Etsy, or if you're curious about a commission, feel free to DM me or reach out at jen@jenkerins.com.
Thanks for stopping by, and for stepping into the stillness with me...
