Irish designed and Irish made prints, cards and stationery.
Hairy Fruit Art is a small Irish design studio founded in 2013 by Helen Magee whose background is originally in oil painting.
When Helen crept into the enjoyable world of illustration she was hooked and so began this artistic love story.
Over these creative years Helen has produced unique collections of wall art, kitchen textiles, greetings cards, illustrated notepads and social stationery.
"When I started illustrating it opened up this wonderful world of colour and whimsy that was dormant inside me and I knew I had to share it with the world.
Now I'm in the business of selling products that spread joy to the giver and the receiver, happily this has been a successful concept so far :)
I have discovered over time that my designs are greatly inspired by the beautiful countryside and mature gardens of Greystones in Co. Wicklow which I played in as a child.
My Irish themed prints incorporate elements and memories of childhood family road trips around Ireland particularly the West Coast.
Retro art and design principally from the '60's and '70's has also had an influence since I unashamedly admit I'm 'of that era' and was like a sponge as a kid and took it all in.
I've also been influenced by my mother who continues to be a marvellous artist with a great eye for colour and a natural flair for interior design. She still inspires me to this day."
All cards, prints and notebooks are printed and packed in Ireland. Hairy Fruit Art uses recycled, recyclable and biodegradable packaging wherever possible.
