Wearable Art – Inspired By Art

Liz is a textile-designer and artist with a passion for colour. Well known for her colourful hand-woven scarves, Liz is inspired by Art; painting, poetry and prose. She is particularly fond of the work of the Father of Impressionism, Claude Monet. His use of vivid colour and the dreamlike quality of his paintings is translated, into beautiful scarves which are admired worldwide.

The poetry of Patrick Kavanagh who lived only a few miles away was the inspiration for her The Kavanagh Collection. Very proud of her county’s lace making heritage, Liz has designed a range which is a tribute to that heritage, The Renaissance Collection, which is a contemporary woven lace. Time spent surrounded by her much loved County Monaghan drumlin hills, and the beautiful raised bog of ‘Bragan’ in the north of the county, has infused into her hand-dyeing and hand-weaving.
