Gifted @The RDS 2025

This December, I had the privilege of exhibiting at Gifted 2025 at the RDS for the first time and what an incredible experience it was.

From 3rd to 7th December, my work was on display across three collections: original paintings, fine art giclee prints, and a brand-new 100% silk scarf range. The response was overwhelming. Meeting collectors, gift-buyers, and art enthusiasts who connected with the work in person reminded me why I create. There's something irreplaceable about seeing someone pause in front of a piece, drawn in by the light and landscape that inspired it.

The silk scarves were a particular highlight—a new venture that brought a wearable dimension to the studio's practice. Crafted from the finest materials, each design carries the same attention to colour and composition as the paintings themselves. Seeing them draped and worn throughout the fair felt like watching the work step into everyday life.

Gifted 2025 validated what I've always believed: that there's a genuine appetite for gallery-quality art and craft, presented with integrity and care. The fair's curatorial approach celebrating independent makers and artists aligned perfectly with the ethos of this studio. I was honoured to be featured in the Design & Craft Council of Ireland's collection in the centre of the main hall with one of my pieces of original art.

I'm delighted to confirm that I'll be returning to Gifted in 2026. If you visited the stand in December, thank you for the warmth and support. If you didn't make it, I hope to see you next time. Sign up to my newsletter to receive free tickets in December!
