Ireland based French artist. Hand-Painted jewellery. . All my creations are the results of my love for art, for jewellery and my sensitive skin.I blend artistic flair with durable materials to create jewellery that stands out and lasts.

About me

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, early, 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 story.
I hope it brings you as much joy as I felt making it. May you always find joyful reflections in your unique piece of wearable art!  

Artistic hand-painted jewellery meticulously designed to bring you to stand out from the crowd!

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 the Covid Lockdowns.
We moved into our new home, the walls were very bare. I started to play with fluid art. Made a lot of paintings to cover our brand new walls.

I loved the process and all the splashing and experimenting. But I didn't like all the paint wasted and left on the table.

I found craft groups online, mainly from US, Australia and New Zealand. These crafters were addressing the waste issue and used the excess paint once dried, a paint skin, and applied it for craft. I was hooked and the rest is history.
