Textile Artist

Just your average Irish textile artist doing a 3rd year degree in University in Textile Art, Design and Fashion. I'm a bubbly, social girl who enjoys Anime/Manga and is extremely fascinated with the Japanese Culture. My hobbies are Socialising, drawing, using the sewing machine, and teaching, which is what i will like my career path to involve. My art work focuses on Textile art, mixing Quilt. Patchwork and print to create one-off pieces. I am very experimentive when it comes to my work, and always aim to create a piece of art containing a very broad colour palette.

Photographs of sections of my final piece.  Pleased with the progress so far :)

The beginning of final sampling the the final piece…Firstly ive started creating miniture samples for my portfolio, each sample will be properly sewn and quilted in different ways.  This will help determine which way i would like my final piece to be quilted.  I cant wait for the peice to be finish so i can stand back and take a look.  Towards the end of this week I hope to start sewing the samples for the final piece together…:D going to get super busy…
