Mazzland Art Studio

Mazzarella O'Flaherty is an award-winning, Dingle-born folk artist and musician. In 1975, International Women's Year, she won the Soroptomist's Award in the oil category. In 1997, she converted her cottage in Dingle town to a studio gallery.

Mazzland, the title Mazz has adopted for her work since 1990, is an expression of personal images influenced firstly by the stark beauty of West Kerry and the changing ways of life on Europe's western seaboard. Mazz would describe herself as a colourist first. Impressionism influences her work; lively, bright sweeping strokes dance on the canvas portraying moods, stormy seas, flower filled fields and landscapes.

Mazz continues to paint, write songs and perform.

Mazz has exhibited in many solo shows and group exhibitions in both Ireland and the U.S.A. Current Themes for her artwork are "Island and Sunsets, Seven Waves and Dance of the Fire Flowers.
