I am a ceramic artist. I just love it. It’s in my blood. As a child, I did arts and crafts with my parents and I have always loved creating with my hands. I first came across clay in the early ’80s at a night pottery course and realized I had found my medium and a desire to use it. After coming to West Cork, I was able to set up a small workshop and realize my desire. I received a startup grant from the West Cork Enterprise Board and became officially self-employed in 2004. I’ve also received funding from the West Cork Development Partnership. I am unashamedly self-taught but there have been many people who have given me their advice and wisdom over the years. My late father bought me my first hobby kiln and supported me every step of the way, as has the rest of my family. I am here today because of my dream and their support and I am immensely grateful for all of them.
