Bio

Catch My Drift 

After 30 years in the corporate world, I took the plunge and turned my creative passion into a full-time career. Inspired by the beauty of the sea and countless, cherished family memories along Ireland’s stunning shores, I personally gather treasures from the drifts of the Wild Atlantic Way and beyond. In my studio, I transform these natural gifts into unique, sustainable framed pieces that celebrate life’s stories and special moments—infused with humour & emotion, making gifting easy for you.

Commissions form a huge part of my body of work and are always welcome.  In addition,  should you wish to personalise the wording of any of my larger frames in store, I would be happy to do so at no extra charge to you, please contact me for lead time.
