Born and raised in Ireland, I’ve been interested in all things creative ever since I was a child. During the COVID lockdowns, I rediscovered my passion for drawing and painting. More recently I have been exploring digital creations and illustrations.
When I’m not creating, I love travelling and meeting friends for coffee. I’ve lived in 5 different countries (so far) and visited many, many more. I still have a long list of other places on my bucket list though.
You can check out my art on Instagram.
Where do you live? I am currently living in Brittany, France.
Where do you come from? I come from the west of Ireland. It’s wet, it’s wild but I think its so beautiful. Even though I don’t live there at the moment, it will always be my home.
Where do you (day) dream to go next? I’d really love to see the northern lights, so maybe Iceland or some of the Nordic countries.
What do you like most about travelling? It’s so hard to pick a favourite part. I like to learn about the people who live there (or have lived there in the past. I love learning about the culture, traditions & customs and the history. I think that’s really fascinating. But I also love tasting traditional foods, especially the desserts.
Is there a thing/ritual that you always have to do when you travel? I usually buy a postcard in each new place that I go to. I keep them in a box with a little note of the dates I visited and who I went with. Recently I’ve started to buy magnets too, so every time I open the fridge, I am reminded of all the amazing places I’ve been and all the memories.
