I make and sell on Etsy both craft-kits and greeting cards. I also run workshops in local pubs and bars in the Balham/Tooting area. One of the main goals of my business is to get more people into arts & craft for it can be an excellent antidote to stress. Art, painting and expressing oneself through the creation of an artefact, puts the mind in a similar state to meditation and this has saved my mental health on many occasions in the past.

The bright flat colours, bold shapes and the elimination of perspective that typify Paul-Emmet Costelloe’s unique and distinctive work are a reaction to, and consequence of, his upbringing in rural Ireland. Paul’s contemporary, abstract cubist style demonstrates his aversion to and reaction against the verdant countryside and depth in the vistas of his homeland.
