WELCOME.
Una Toibin is
a self-taught artist, accomplished in both traditional and digital
media. The gallery features selected traditional media works created
between 1994-2000. The vast majority of the works presented here
are acrylic on canvas, however additional media includes oils, pencil
and acrylic on denim
"I
prefer to paint from my imagination" states Una, "mainly
because it cannot be compared to anything. My imagination takes
me to places where there are no cameras and there are no physical
rules. I love nature, so most of my work reflects this. You know,
God is there, everywhere and a constant reminder that my life
is a gift. My gift in return is what I create."
A few other
comments about Una Toibin's work:
"Una
Toibin has a soul that knows no bounds. This is obvious when one
views the entire scope of her art. From the free spirit of the new
age to her staggering recipe of color blends, Una is a gifted lady.
From the reflections of midnight owl to the ancient castles of Ireland,
Una washes our memory in Sligo Bay. Art is a God given talent, not
as some insist, an inherited trait. This I know to be true because
I can not draw a crooked line. If my praise is biased, that does
not make her art less but our love more. With as much humility as
I can muster, I state clearly, Una Rules."

"Una
enriches the psychedelic artwork within The Psychedelic Bus CD-ROM
by letting us use digital images of her paintings within the game
and on the box cover. The images within show some of the power and
beauty Una gives to the canvas. Enjoy!
-Dave (Designer of The Psychedelic Bus of Dead Knowledge www.psychedelicbus.com)
"Una
Toibin is merely the receiver through which the Other Dimension
communicates with our world. Acrylic painted, these fresh images
and abstract landscapes are more soothing than a full body massage."
-Punchline Magazine, Richmond, Virginia
"I
was in a local music store, and I happened to glance over at the
magazine rack. That's when the amazing cover of Relix caught my
eye (vol 26 #3, artwork by Una Toibin). Absolutely, without a doubt,
the most beautiful, awe-inspiring cover to date."
