Do you recall a piece of artwork that resonated with you the moment you set eyes on it? Some pieces have a call that touch us in a deep place while others quietly beckon us to contemplate their meaning.
With my own artwork, there are three pieces that prompt decisive action from my buyers.
To bring you one step closer to your purchase decision I present my top three most popular limited edition prints.
Ganga Dreaming
The original oil painting was part of my 'Indian Heartway' collection. Ganga Dreaming was the most popular and first to sell. It's the same with the limited edition print version. Admirers comment on the timelessness and tranquility of the piece. One of my collectors purchased the piece after having a Feng Shui consultation for her home; the sail boat representing good fortune and prosperity.
Love's Light Upon Us
The much admired original acrylic painting (now sold) is from the collection 'The Sacred Lives of Trees', designed to honour the benefits of trees for our well-being. Many find the title appealing and there's something special about those two little leaves with the light shining in on them. Created after a visit to the Bamboo Garden in Glengarrif, West Cork.
Break True
This is piece is instantly recognised by those who are following their 'Authentic Path'. The original marked the start of my own path of transformation in healing and following my heart. It brought a tear to the eye of its new owner when presented as a gift from their friend. Similary, the limited edition print version has been purchased as gift to friends who need inspiration in life and it's also cherished by those starting out on a new career.

There's no imaginable excuse for missing out on my last tour of The Sacred Lives of Tree's that's because I made THIS VIDEO especially for you to enjoy (:
2025 Update
The Sacred Lives of Tree's exhibition tours were warmly received all over. While many of original paintings are now in good homes around Ireland and Europe, there's still some opportunity to obtain a piece in the form of print or painting. If you liked the virtual tour, pop over to my online gallery and discover your own perfect tree art work.
I first connected with Michelle Mc Loughlin in a popular Twitter network, #womensinspire, supporting female entrepreneurs. Michelle's new business 'Train With Us' was the featured business that night, we joined in to help her business to trend by using her hashtag #businessSOS in our conversations.
I was thrilled to win the prize she had offered at the outset; a one hour consultation with regards to achieving a particular business goal of my choice.
Boosting Online Sales of Art Prints
I set the goal of achieving on-line sales of my limited edition art prints via my newly launched website, late in 2016. Exhibiting my work during the launch brought a good deal of direct sales and gave more visibility to my work in general. Following these events, I need to also boost awareness of my online art shopping facility.
"A few days before my review with Michelle, I achieved my goal of an on-line art sale!"
Making SMART Plans with Michelle
During the consultation, Michelle helped me to identify key tasks which we both agreed would be useful for generating awareness of my on-line shop. Together we prioritised the tasks and agreed on a timeframe in which to achieve them.
A review session was set to take place within one month. Meanwhile, Michelle had eyes and ears on all my social media activities. It was lovely that from time to time she gave me encouragement seeing that I was putting the plan into action.
If you need help identifying how to achieve your goals and could do with some motivation and accountability, I highly recommend connecting with Michelle via her website www.trainwithus.ie
