At Mouse House Studio, I take great pride in my heritage within the ceramics industry. My family has been crafting beautiful quality ceramics for generations, and I continue to honor those traditions with my organic, unique pieces.
I believe that art should be both beautiful and reflective. Inspired by the west coast of Ireland, my landscape paintings and portraits are representations of the beauty here in North Mayo.
I offer a range of unique ceramic items, including both table ware and sculptural designs. Each piece is designed to be both distinctive and functional, making it perfect for any occasion. Explore my art work for organic, one-of-a-kind creations.
Each piece is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every item reflects the commitment to quality ceramics. My dedication to sustainability drives me to use organic, eco-friendly materials whenever possible, resulting in unique ceramic items that stand out.
At Mouse House Studio, I specialize in creating unique pieces that reflect handcrafted quality ceramics tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're looking for organic designs for a wedding, a thoughtful gift, or stunning home decor, I collaborate closely with my clients to bring their visions to life.
All of my paintings are worked using soft pastel on acid-free paper, which helps maintain the integrity and vibrancy of the artwork for years to come. This choice of materials helps ensure that the artwork lasts longer by resisting yellowing, brittleness, and other signs of aging. Acid-free paper is a standard choice for archival and museum settings, where the preservation of art is paramount. I work primarily with Sennelier and Schmincke soft pastels, utilizing Conté crayons for minute details.
