Inspired by walks in parks & nature reserves with my family. I am passionate about Irish language, history, folklore, the stories behind the wildlife we encounter. The Dreoilín Easpaigh (literally Bishop’s Wren) is known as a Goldcrest and is said to be the king of the birds. The Spideog (Robin) is said to be a loved one visiting to say hello.
I am an Artist who sells online and in markets. I have studied Fine Art and after a long uncreative period, I have realised how important it is for me to draw, paint, make, etc. Encourage & support from family & friends have made it even more enjoyable.
