The Féitheacha Print Series: A Collector’s Guide to the Gorm Collection

Féitheacha (FAY-huh-khuh) means Veins in Irish. It's the name I gave to one of my most complex original paintings and to the nine print series drawn from it.

The title came after the work, not before. I'd finished the piece and was looking at the marks, the way they moved through the composition, threading through the blue like something organic. The fractures. The lines that looked found rather than placed. Féitheacha. It was the only word that fit.

 

From Original to Print Series

The Féitheacha original is painted on enamel - layered acrylics, metallic accents, deep blues threaded with copper and gold built up over weeks. Enamel on metal behaves differently to canvas. The paint moves, resists, settles in ways that can't be fully controlled. The result is a surface with genuine physical depth - ridges, textures, details that change with the light.

Translating that to paper requires more than photography. I use micro photography, capturing details invisible to the naked eye at normal viewing distance. Each of the nine prints in the series is a magnified section of the original. A world within the work. Details you'd only find if you stood with your nose six inches from the original painting.

The prints are produced on Hahnemühle Photo Rag; 100% cotton, acid free, the standard used by museums and serious collectors worldwide. Archival pigment inks. Colour stable for over 100 years. Carbon neutral fulfilment through The Printspace.

 

The Gorm Collection

Féitheacha belongs to the Gorm Collection. Gorm is the Irish word for blue. The collection takes its name from the colour that runs through everything I make; deep indigos, cobalts, ultramarines, the occasional flash of copper or gold that makes the blue work harder.

By using Irish language titles I anchor the work in a specific cultural heritage. These aren't decorative labels, they're a layer of meaning that connects the abstract marks to something rooted in place and language.

 

Choosing Your Print

Nine prints. Each one a different section of the original. Each one complete in itself.

They function equally well as a single statement piece or as a curated sequence across a wall. Whether you choose one or three, the series maintains a coherent presence; the same deep blue lineage, the same metallic thread running through.

A1 gives the micro photography room to breathe. The detail expands across a larger surface and the enamel textures become fully visible from a normal viewing distance. A2 is more intimate, suited to a considered gallery wall or a space where you want the detail to draw you in rather than stop you from across the room.

Both sizes are available with optional FSC certified black wood frames - a clean gallery standard finish that lets the blue hues work against a neutral edge.

What Each Print Includes

Every Féitheacha print is signed. A Certificate of Authenticity documents its place within the Gorm Collection, the edition details and the archival specifications. This is the paperwork that matters when you're building a serious collection, provenance you can verify, credentials you can trace. select a piece

The exhibition history behind the work includes the RSA New Contemporaries Award 2013, seven international exhibitions across New York, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, Brussels and London, and the Women in Art Excellence Award at the Women in Art Biennale London 2024. That record doesn't disappear when the work leaves the studio. It travels with every print.
