Áine Hayes is an Irish artist based in the West of Ireland. Rooted in abstract expressionism, her work is known for its rich textures, lively energy, and vibrant palette.

Although immersed in creativity from an early age, Áine spent over a decade in the corporate world before returning fully to her artistic practice. Painting became a way to reconnect with herself—a mindful, therapeutic process that allowed her to pause, rediscover her intuition, and reclaim a sense of authenticity. From this, her distinctive style emerged: vibrant, instinctive, and deeply expressive.

Her current body of work is inspired by an ongoing journey of inner growth, shaped by significant life changes — transformations that continue to guide her into greater alignment.
