Creative original artworks by Stephen Diggin, in a variety of styles await those who visit the "Studio Gallery" at Aghilly, Buncrana in the Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

Stephen as an artist does not limit himself to any one subject and his exhibits include paintings of bold abstracts, tranquil still lifes, portraits and some very original animal caricature depictions.

Stephen has recently launched a series of limited edition prints of some of his most popular works, an example of Stephen's work can be viewed on this website.

Abstract Art is art that is not an accurate representation of a form or object. This representation can be different in many ways including the shape, colour, and form. The artist takes the object and then either simplifies it or exaggerates it using these things.

Portraits & Caricatures are a representation of the human form and these can be done with many forms of materials and styles. Oil's and Watercolours are Stephen's main mediums that he likes to work with. Whilst Portraits are generally a real life representation Caricatures generally exagerates some feature, fine examples of these are in his work of animal depictions.

Landscapes & Seascapes Inishowen is a beautiful place and thisork. With rugged mountainous terrain and mother natures wild atlantic coastline this is evident in many magnificant examples of his creations.
