Storytelling

Traditional

I aim to create art using colours used in the book of Kells. Being from Kildare The Goddess Brigid meaning “exalted one”, in Irish mythology. Brig was a member of the Tuatha De Danann. She is associated with wisdom, poetry, healing, protection, smithing and domesticated animals.

The interior of the bowl tells a contemporary story.
