Biography

I am a native of Ballyferriter West and a member of the West Kerry Craft Guild since 1999. I blend local clay, stones and sand with stoneware clay to create original art, based on local history, archaeology and landscape of the Dingle peninsula. A unique aspect of my work is the use or language both modern and ancient, integrating Ogham and other symbolic inscriptions. Since 1996, I have exhibited extensively and completed many private and public commissions. My work has featured on several national television programmes and interior magazines.
