Olive has been making art for as long as she can remember. The Olive Stack Gallery opened its doors in Listowel, Ireland in 1998, it has been at the heart of the community for 27 years.
Much of Olive's work is inspired by nature. The flora and fauna, the changing light and seasons all feed her creative practice. Olive works in a diverse range of mediums including Oil, Watercolour, Encaustic, Mosaic, Stone Art and most recently Micro Mosaics.

Let customers speak for us
from 27 reviewsI bought this for a birthday gift and didn't get it framed so as to give the opportunity to exchange it for a different one if desired but it was loved and appreciated. I have it in for framing at the moment.
 
  I love this print. I llve in London and this print was given as a wedding gift . It brings me such wonderful memories of my childhood playing on the beach in Ballybunion with my sisters and cousins on long sunny summer days. Olive is so talented and captures thoese moments so vividly. This is the present that keeps on giving. Thank you, Lillian Moloney
 
  Couldn’t leave with just one, so I picked the perfect mate. Can’t wait to jang them.
 
  Was instantly “drawn” to Olive’s figure painting! She’s an amazing, versatile artist, a master of everything and just a really cool person to boot.
 
  My beautiful pendant! Handmade by a talented artist with love and a commitment to creating one off pieces of art that can be worn. So pleased with my purchase. Most highly recommended.
 
  The website and process to apply for the residency was very easy.
 
  Loved this serene beautiful painting from the minute I saw it. The print is going home with me . Olive wrapped it up perfectly for my trip home to Cape Cod where it will hang on my wall and be a daily reminder of my time in the glorious country of Ireland.
 
  This print, Virgin Rock Ballybunion by Olive Stack, depicts a vibrant coastal scene. The vivid orange flowers, likely crocosmia, in the foreground command one’s attention, yet allow a view of the blue and green coastal scene in the background, celebrating the beauty of nature.
 
  I am so enamoured with this print of Derrynane Beach. It came so well wrapped and protected. I can’t wait to give it to my friend for her wedding. Derrynane is a special place for her and Olive captured this beach so perfectly
 
  Just beautiful! Exactly as described and an amazing piece of art that I will enjoy forever. Love it!
