An Evening of Poetry & Singing
To finish week of creative events, I provide an evening of songs in the Irish and English language, along with poetry from my book The Whisperings of Nature.
Thank You to Carlow Library
My creative and wellness events have been offered free of charge to allow the public the opportunity to sample and benefit from my work. I'm a self-funded artist and have been very fortunate to have the support of Carlow Library who've generously provided me with a beautiful space to host my creative events. By purchasing my art work and books you allow me to continue on this creative path of giving to others.
My art is an expression of stories that awaken dreams and keep them alive. I love vibrant colours and the freedom of allowing imagination to seep through reality.
Explore my artwork in the interest of feeding your own dreams and keeping them alive. You'll find landscapes, trees, scenes from lands such as India and Portugal. Choose from original paintings in a variety of sizes or a range of prints including some limited editions.

Daring to be Authentic Has Many Benefits for Yourself & Others
Creative expression is good for us, it helps us to understand who we are and connects us with others. In addition, by daring to be authentic you pave the way for others to allow their authenticity to come through. Being authentic gives you access to greater wellbeing.
The stories I tell here through my blogs are about the journey of daring to be more authentic. These are stories of healing, recovery and empowerment. I value what I’ve learned on this journey, I call it my Authentic Path.
After a lot of transformative work, I reached a point where I dared to step into the spot-light to not only exhibit my paintings but also to launch my books. Thanks to Carlow Library I had access to a beautiful space to host the visitors who attended my launch and poetry recital. Walks along beaches, time spent in forests, moon-gazing from city roof-tops and far away travels have provided inspiration for the poetry in my first book.
"The Whisperings of Nature' is a collection of 15 nature inspired poems which have appeal for nature lovers seeking wisdom, comfort and inspiration from the beauty that is found in Nature."
"I warmly recommend ordering and reading Caroline Cunningham’s books. The Whisperings of Nature is filled with profoundly beautiful poetry & Seven C’s to Calm is a great mindfulness companion."

"Caroline I received your book and I love your poetry. I’m inspired by walking through woods and hidden places, your writing paints a picture of the natural world. I’m honoured to have the first U.S. copy."
William Boone, Wild Wilful Heart, Author, U.S.A.
"The author is a gentle soul, her poems celebrate nature, love and the universal human sense of belonging. Caroline’s poetry is open and honest and from the heart of supreme goodness. Short in length the reader is left desiring more of the author’s being. Great Spirit is felt."
Sinead O’Gorman, Actor, Wexford, Ireland
"Caroline is a writer who conveys a deep affinity with nature and humanity"
Brenda Bergin, Seniorpreneurs Ireland
"These poems are for people of all ages who love Nature, as I do. I especially like to read them at the close of my day. I am also the proud owner of Caroline’s lovely artwork."
Jonathon King, Poet & Humanitarian, Ireland
"An Inspirational, thought-provoking read. Fine poetry should be cherished."
Connecting Inwards & Restoring Calm
I have found nature poems useful for helping me to switch off from the busy world, allowing me to connect inwards to restore calm. My book is a useful for setting the scene for meditation and it is a nice gift idea for someone who appreciates nature.
