A behind the scenes look at artists working with print studios in the creation of their prints.

Exploring the physical and emotional space, where recognisable images meet abstraction in bright prisms of colour, Diana is internationally renowned for her large-scale oil paintings. Energetic gestures and bold choices are masterfully handled, so that you feel what you are looking at, as well as seeing it and, however long you look, there is always more to see. While the artist herself is keen to keep her immediate influences enigmatic, her Stoney Road suite of prints hint at dreamscapes, or what might lie behind the façade of the everyday encounter.
“Making prints with Stoney Road Press has been a fantastic experience. My evolving practice was stretched and tested, and solutions for unique individual aesthetic and technical problems are ever-expanding, thanks to the team of excellent practising artists, who are also superb technicians. The prints are in synch with my painting practice; on a larger scale, they encompass the painterly language and lexicon that I continue to develop in new and interesting ways.” — Diana Copperwhite
Diana exhibits widely in Ireland and internationally, and her work is held in major public collections, including The National Gallery of Ireland, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
Stoney Road Press is a fine art print studio that since 2001 has been collaborating with Ireland’s leading contemporary artists to produce limited-edition hand-made prints, books, sculptures and tapestries.
