A Laois artist with a rapidly growing following has had a painting featured on the popular RTÉ television show Home of the Year.

Aishling Hennessy from Portlaoise is an abstract artist who creates canvasses filled with a joyous blend of colours.

She was commissioned to do a large, more muted colour piece by a Dublin couple whose beautiful home featured on the television show broadcast on Tuesday, March 22.

She told the Leinster Express about it. 

"I'm over the moon. The house is a renovated home in Dublin. I was approached by Niamh in October 2021 to create a one of a kind textured commission that would add to the earthy vibe of their home. I had no idea it was going to be on Home of the Year," she said.

"Super excited to see #rtehomeoftheyear tonight ! I have an Earthy textured commissioned painting in this beautiful home. It's name is 'Saimhe' which means Serenity in Irish. Best of luck to Niamh and James Such a well designed home and such lovely people too," Aishling said on her social media page.

The couple were pipped at the post in the episode by a stunning extended renovated farmhouse. Watch the episode on RTÉ Player.
