About

Fiona Foley is the artist behind Pear Shaped Studio, a Cork-based mixed media illustrator known for her vibrant, quirky interpretations of urban life. Specialising in architectural drawing with a whimsical twist, Fiona brings the streets and skyline of Cork City and its surroundings to life through bold colours, playful lines, and a strong sense of character.

Fiona studied Graphic Design and Illustration in Cork College of FET.

Fiona’s passion for children’s illustration shines through in her style: light-hearted, nostalgic, and full of storytelling. Whether she’s capturing a familiar street corner or inventing a world of her own, her art invites viewers to see the everyday through a more joyful lens.

Welcome to my collection of illustrated gifts — thoughtfully designed to bring a little joy to every occasion. Whether you're searching for a meaningful card, a unique present, or a small treat just for you, there's something here to brighten someone’s day.

Each item is illustrated and designed by me, then printed in Ireland by small local businesses. Supporting local has been a core part of my business from the very beginning.
