About me

Ann Mitchell is an Irish contemporary portrait artist working from The Far Room — her studio and gallery in County Offaly, Ireland.

She paints women. Not as they appear, but as they are — the strength held quietly beneath the surface, the lives lived inside the skin. Each portrait is built through layers of oil paint, collage, pen, ink and gold leaf. Surfaces are worked and reworked over time. Traces remain beneath — suggestions of memory, of what has been carried, of what has survived. The gold that runs through the cracks is not decoration. It is the point.

Her current body of work, Her Skin. Her Armour., explores identity, resilience and the emotional layers women carry — often invisibly, often without acknowledgement. The work is personal in its origins and universal in what it asks of the viewer. It invites a slower kind of looking. And it rewards it.

Ann's paintings are held in private collections across Ireland, the UK, France, Canada and Australia, and have been exhibited in solo and group shows at home and internationally — including Birr Theatre & Arts Centre, Third Space Dublin, Portumna Castle Art Gallery, Luan Gallery, and Groslok Gallery in Bratislava. Her work has been featured on the cover and in editorial spreads of Art Team Magazine, and she has been recognised as a juror for the Emerging Artist Award (2025).

She is currently represented by Urban Oasis Art Gallery, Tullamore, and is actively seeking gallery partnerships to bring her work to wider audiences — particularly those with an interest in contemporary figurative painting, women's experience, and work that carries genuine emotional weight.
