I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity—my Mam was a seamstress and fashion designer in her early years, and our home was always filled with fabrics, crafts, and handmade pieces. I loved art in school but chose a business degree over art college, thinking it was the more sensible path. For years, I focused on my career in hospitality marketing, and painting quietly faded into the background.

Then came lockdown—and with it, the time and space to rediscover that creative spark. I picked up a set of watercolours, taught myself to paint, and quickly became obsessed with mastering this beautiful, unpredictable medium. I began selling prints and original pieces at local markets and online, and before long, I found my true niche: live illustration.

This work brings together everything I’m passionate about—art, fashion, events, hospitality, and meaningful connection. It’s been a journey I never expected, and I’ve loved every second. I feel incredibly grateful to do what I do, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead.
