Ira Whittaker

Artistic background

I'm a self-taught artist who found her way to oil painting through years of exploring different surfaces and materials — from glass and concrete to wood and finally, canvas. Creativity has always been a part of me, even when I didn’t call myself an artist yet.

I love painting two topic - cats and women — maybe because I see something deeply intuitive and emotional in both. I also travel often, and those impressions naturally make their way into my landscapes and seascapes. I don’t like to box myself into a single theme — every canvas is a new opportunity to express the way I see the world.

Art for me is both personal and universal. Through it, I share what I feel and what I observe — quietly, honestly, and from the heart.

I also believe that once a painting is finished, it already has an owner, the two just have to meet. I hope you find your perfect match here! Thank you for visiting and enjoy my shop. My paintings are in private collections all over the world -UK, USA, Canada, Europa, Asia.
