René Mullin is an Irish printmaker, illustrator, author and educator exploring colour and texture though printmaking and irish linen.

 

Working on both paper and textile, René is a Visual Artists Ireland professional registered artist, a selected Design Ireland member, a published author/illustrator, and a member and previous chair of at Belfast Print Workshop.  Supported by the Arts Council NI, Design and Crafts Council Ireland via both financial and business directory membership and support, her chosen textile to work with is Irish linen. It serves well as a sustainable material and has a rich heritage running through her family lineage. René named her studio PLACED when she first established it in 2009,  highlighting the action made when a person takes something made in her Irish studio and putting it in its new location. 

​

René designs, prints and produces all of her work by hand in her rural studio near the gorgeous coastal village of Strangford, Co Down, Ireland.
