The art of painting

Immerse yourself in the artistry and joy of painting with a personalised art session led by our resident artist, Trish Findlater. Whether you are a novice or an avid painter, this experience is designed for all skill levels.

About Trish

Trish Findlater, our resident artist, is a passionate creator who infuses her love for art into every piece. After completing her fine art studies at the University of Belfast, she earned a scholarship to the Fine Art Academy in Belgium, where she sharpened her skills. Trish then pursued her interest in interior design, working with a Dublin architecture firm before achieving a first-class honours degree in Interior Architecture from Griffith College, Dublin. After some time away, she returned to art and now focuses on 'en plein air' painting, finding inspiration in landscapes, seascapes, and her garden throughout the changing seasons.

The experience

Spend the afternoon with Trish and embrace the tradition of 'en plein air' painting, capturing the beauty of the outdoors with your subject in full view. Unwind, set up your easel, and enjoy a tranquil afternoon, creating a unique keepsake of your time at Ashford Castle. Your artwork will be elegantly prepared for you to take home, serving as a cherished memory of your stay.
