Ni Ri Design, Watercolour greetings cards, prints & originals Anne Ryan McGree, Ni Ri Design, Graigueswood Freshford, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland

Anne didn’t discover she had a talent until she took up painting as a hobby using watercolours, inks and pastels. She loves to capture the familiar – everyday things, which we all encounter in our lives. With an artist's eye she catches animals in their environment, the vivid colours of flowers and their movement, unusual garden and country scenes and commits them to watercolour paper.

Always open to change and aware of market demands, Anne saw that there was a demand for a range of quality Irish designed Greeting Cards. This resulted in the launching her own company called Ní Rí Design. Conscious of the necessity to transfer the vividness, depth and brightness of her original paintings onto a range of top quality cards, Anne oversees each stage of the printing process herself.
