At Rua Prints, every piece begins with a hand-painted original.

Our collection includes:

• A5 and A4 Giclée Fine Art Prints featuring one of our hand-painted dog portraits paired with your choice of signature striped background. Every background has its own story, inspired by places, adventures and memories of mine.
• Blank Greeting Cards perfects for gifting, with the option to include your own handwritten message if you're sending it directly to someone special.
• Custom Pet Commissions where I create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your dog, paired with a striped background that feels most meaningful to you, or perhaps, one inspired by your own story

Yes! Every Rua Prints print is signed by me, Molly O'Keeffe, as a mark of authenticity.

Supporting local businesses is important to me, which is why Rua Prints collaborates with a local printing company, Murphy Print & Design in Killarney, to produce every print.

Our A5 and A4 Glicée Fine Art Prints are printed on high-quality 310gsm Canon Fine Art Smooth Paper, chosen to showcase the rich colours and fine details of each original painting while giving the print a beautiful, high-quality feel.

Our A6 Greeting Cards are printed on 300gsm silk that's sturdy enough to stand beautifully while remaining easy to write on.

Every Original Commission is hand painted on professional, acid-free, cold-pressed acrylic paper, ensuring your artwork can be enjoyed for years to come.

Absolutely! I will be adding new dog breeds to the collection, so if you can’t see your favourite just yet, there’s a good chance it’s on its way.

Yes. Spending so much time outdoors has given me a deep appreciation for the places and animals that inspire my artwork.

Thats why every print is professionally printed to order, helping to reduce unnecessary waste and overproduction. Orders are packaged carefully using recyclable materials wherever possible.

I once heard the analogy, “If you think you could never be vegetarian because you love bacon too much, just become vegetarian… and bacon.” It made me laugh, but it also stuck with me. Too often we feel that if we can’t do something perfectly, there’s no point doing it at all.

I don’t believe sustainability has to be all or nothing. No business can be completely impact-free. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. As the business grows, I’ll keep looking for ways to do better, one small step at a time.
