Louise Garcia’s life journey weaves together a love of the natural world with creative writing and theatre performance work. She spent over twenty years stimulating young imaginations in her teaching career, alongside creative endeavours in community theatre and local broadcasting. 

Her recent creative work in Tipperary has involved scripting and presenting nature films, writing and producing plays such as Lady Blessington’s Bath, performing in pantomime and street entertainment and hosting large-scale public events such as Clonmel’s Zombie Walks. 

I am a multi-media artist making sculptures, basketry and arts projects for a variety of settings. I work to commission and with community groups, creating site-specific projects and artworks. My Public Art Sculptures are well-known. 

I have extensive experience in teaching craft skills and working creatively with people of all ages. I have an open studio and gallery in a quiet rural location where I teach classes and run cultural events.

I have worked as an artist since obtaining an honours degree in art and design, at the London Guildhall University in 1996. 

I strive to make art understandable and accessible to everyone. I often bring “community” along in the creative journey for some of the artworks, thus reinforcing their understanding and ownership. 

In my work I like to combine different materials, utilising their unique inherent qualities and also honouring the craft skill for each. 

Brigid Teehan’s art practice involves working with people, places and situations where she is operating at various levels of creative direction, organisational structure; curation and production. 

Her strategy has been to test how an artist might exist in spheres of life outside the art world such as businesses, workplaces, schools, mental health settings, communities of interest, and empty buildings. At the same time attempting to bring that work back to the contemporary art context.
