About Una
Watercolour, acrylic and portraits · Limerick
Una Heaton is a Limerick-born artist who is proud of her city. She studied at Limerick School of Art and began an art teacher's course, but couldn't afford full-time college, so she moved into advertising. There she designed company logos, signage, theatre backdrops and calligraphy. Portrait commissions and landscapes followed.
Watercolour is her favourite medium, which she calls "vibrant and quick", and she also paints large acrylic works of the Irish coast. Her portraits include Frank McCourt and Barack Obama. Una has been closely involved with the Frank McCourt Museum in Limerick and led the project for a bronze bust of McCourt outside his old school. She also donated a painting honouring front-line healthcare workers to University Hospital Limerick.
The Milk Market
Una's painting captures a Saturday morning under the canopy of Limerick's Milk Market: the stalls, the people and the life of the city. It is available as a postcard, an A4 framed print, a large rolled print and a large signed limited edition framed print of 350.
