Contemporary Nature-Inspired Art by Alison McIlkenny
Welcome to the art of Alison McIlkenny, a visual artist based in Moira, Northern Ireland, creating colourful, layered paintings inspired by nature and the quiet moments it offers. Working primarily in oil mixed media, Alison’s work is painted intuitively to bring calm, movement and connection into modern living spaces.
Rooted in wildflowers, bumblebees, seascapes and natural rhythms, each piece is designed as a small sanctuary, an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect in an overstimulated world. Every artwork is handcrafted with care, intention and depth, and many are finished in bespoke circular frames handmade in her studio.

Giving art as a gift is something truly special.
It’s not just about colour on a wall — it’s about offering a moment of calm, a pause in a busy world, and something that can be lived with and returned to every day.
My paintings are created intuitively, inspired by nature and the quiet joy found in wildflowers, light, and stillness. Each piece is made with care and intention, designed to bring comfort, hope, and a sense of ease into someone’s space.
If you’re not quite sure which piece to choose, an E-Gift Card is a lovely way to let someone select the artwork that speaks to them most. Gift cards can be used against any artwork available on the website and are delivered instantly by email — a thoughtful gift, made simple.
