Hi, I am a young artist working in Belfast, Ireland. I was 13 when I started learning the techniques involved in Celtic Art and some of the pieces from which the prints are produced date from that time. I work with lots of different materials - some of them conventional: paper, wood, ink, paint...as well as unconventional: flame, slate and metals.
Some designs are updated from the Book of Kells, and some are my own. I try to bring this ancient, mystical form of art and present it in products which are modern, sophisticated and striking (in a good way.)
There is a lot of cheaply-made, mass produced, tacky celtic art out there - don't worry, I hate it as much as everyone else! The stuff I create is honest, hopefully it is beautiful and hopefully something you would love to have in your homes.
Thank you for visiting, this is still in its early stages!
NOVEMBER EXHIBITION!
I am having an exhibition in the Wickerman, on the Highstreet in Belfast. This will continue through November.
