Wearable abstract art inspired by colour, sustainability and individuality. Ireland based French artist.

About me

I never make the same piece twice.

I’m Gwen Léost Kane, the artist behind
Cabin Art Studio. Born and raised in France, Ireland has been my home since 1999.

Like many budding creative, I was discouraged from choosing Art as a career. I’ve adapted to many jobs but in 2024, after a burnout and another redundancy from IT, I made a promise to myself: to honour my mental health and let creativity take centre stage.

Painting has always been my source of joy, healing and expression. Now in my fabulous 50s, I’m embracing it fully.

Each piece I create is infused with care, colour, creative energy and a little bit of my adventurous and resilience story.

Artistic hand-painted jewellery and accessories meticulously designed to make you feel unique and bring you to stand out from the crowd!

I hope it brings you as much joy as I felt painting. May you always find joyful reflections in your unique piece of wearable art and colour therapy!  

How it started

I started making this jewellery for myself because:
I love Art
I love jewellery
and I have a very sensitive skin.

I started during CoviD.
We moved into our new home, the walls were very bare. I started to play with Fluid Art and made a lot of paintings to cover our brand new walls.

I loved the process and all the splashing and experimenting. I lost myself and lost track of time. What I didn't like though was all the paint dripping and left on the table.

Thankfully, I found crafters groups online, mostly from the US, Australia and New Zealand. These crafters were addressing the leftover paint waste issue. They actually waited for the excess paint to dry. You can peel it off: it's called a paint skin. They applied it for craft. I wascompletely hooked by the process.

My life changed a bit since.

Find my colourful creations at the famous Blackrock Market, Co. Dublin. 

I am sharing a lovely shop called Yayi's Touch, right in the middle of the pedestrian street of the iconic  Blackrock Market, Co Dublin. 

Yayi's Touch is a flamboyant fashion shop ran by the super talented and bubbly Yayi. 
It started as trading neighbours. Then I became one of her customers. We got on so well that we decided to take this available unit together. Our offerings are complementary: fashion and jewellery with a tasty twist at affordable prices.
We take turn minding the shop. 
We are open every weekends and bank holiday. You can find a permanent selection of my jewellery and silk scarves.
It's handy for discussing and picking up commissions.
SAT & SUN 11-5:30pm and Bank Holidays.
