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.
Completed the B.A. (Hons) Animation & Motion Design course in Limerick School of Art and Design (2016). A self-motivated practitioner with a passion for the more traditional forms of animation, particularly stop frame animation. Over the years I have been developing my skills as a stop-motion animator and model maker.
In 2019 I was presented with the opportunity to facilitate Stop Motion Animation workshops through the Artist in Primary Schools scheme. Since then, I've worked with several schools, youth centres and other organizations.
For as long as I can remember, I have had a love of Art. As a child, I always had a pencil and paper to hand and spent hours doodling away drawing varied subjects from flowers to cartoon characters and everything in between. My first memory of painting was in Sixth Class in Primary School when our Principal introduced us to painting lessons.
My name is Rose Hanley from 'I Love Getting Crafty'. Being a craft artist is a way of life for me, I have 25 years experience of being a maker and teacher. I make willow garden arbours & fencing, I paint murals, and I sew and print on fabric.
There are 3 parts to my business.
