Life in a Whirl: Art, Family & More Art
As an artist, life is never dull—but this past while has been an absolute whirlwind! From the excitement of Art Source at the RDS last November to preparing for Christmas, working on commissions, and planning for Showcase in the RDS in January, it has been a non-stop adventure. Yet, amidst the busyness, I am having an absolute blast! Life is a whirl!
The Art Source Experience
Art Source event is always a highlight. The energy, the enthusiasm of art lovers, and the incredible conversations I had with visitors at my stand made it an unforgettable experience. Seeing people connect with my work and hearing their interpretations is always fascinating. The feedback, the sales, and the commissions that came out of it were beyond my expectations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Christmas: A Time for Family & Inspiration
After the buzz of the exhibition, the transition into the Christmas season was just as exciting. The festive period is always a special time—catching up with family which necessitated a quick trip to Berlin and the Christmas markets, decorating the house, and soaking in the warmth of the season. The twinkling lights, the crisp winter air, and the joyous atmosphere all serve as inspiration for my next creations. We also had the joy of attending a wedding on New Year’s Eve and that sure kept the excitement going with life in a whirl!
Showcase Event
Showcase Ireland’s Creative Expo.
celebrates 50 years, counting elevating Irish craft and design.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended Showcase Ireland and stopped by my stand in the LEO Village. A big shout out to Local Enterprise South Dublin for their great support, The Design Council of Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. It was an absolute joy to connect with new retail partners and to be surrounded by such an incredible community of talented creatives.
To the wonderful retailers who visited our stand – thank you for supporting the dream. Your backing allows entrepreneurial creatives like me to grow our businesses, share Irish creativity with new audiences, and deliver unique crafted products to the world.
To my fellow exhibitors – what a pleasure it was to meet you! Hearing your stories behind your amazing products, while managing to have a laugh in-between, made the event truly special.
Here’s to continuing to champion Irish creativity together!
Embracing the Chaos & Loving Every Moment
Between all the festivities, I’ve been busy working on my website. I’ve also been busy working on commissions—each one a unique story, a personal connection, and a joy to create. There is something magical about bringing a client’s vision to life, knowing that my artwork will find a special place in their home or office.
Life as an artist is never predictable. It’s a whirlwind of events, emotions, and creative bursts—but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The joy of creating, the thrill of sharing my work, and the connections I make along the way make it all worthwhile.
As we continue into February (already), I’m filled with gratitude for the support, the opportunities, and the wonderful people I’ve met on this journey. Here’s to more creativity, inspiration, and exciting moments ahead!
