Aida Garrity’s work is known for its contrast of bold, wide-brush backgrounds and carefully rendered detail. Whether painting portraits, seascapes, still life, or landscapes, her style balances realism with a subtle impressionistic palette. Originally from Dublin and now based in Florida, Garrity began painting at age five in local museum classes. Her influences range from Zorn and Sorolla to contemporary painters like Daniel Gerhartz and Susan Lyon. She works primarily in oil, beginning with wet-on-wet and finishing with dry detail, creating paintings that reflect both structure and sensitivity.
