In 2018, I graduated with a BA in Performing Arts (Theatre Design) in IT Sligo. I was awarded the Yeats Design Bursary Award at the Abbey and went on to spend a six months residency there. In the Masters in Creative Practice, I am a visual artist. I love the idea of having the freedom to create. Sculptural and Installation work is something I would like to explore more going forward. The idea of building something from nothing is magic and full of beauty. I read, imagine, design: I tell stories.
‘The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.’ WB Yeats During my 20s I travelled extensively. I found myself in East Africa. I remember being culture shocked when I arrived. I remember the sweetness of a banana and the ripeness of a mango. I remember waking up at sunrise to watch the color of the sky transform. I became aware of the simple things in life. A couple of years later, I was living in the Middle East. I worked as a flight attendant. During this time, I learned how to use chopsticks in China, explore the spices and rich tapestry of Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka. I visited the pyramids in Egypt.
