Laura Conneely Art

My background story:

With a surname like Conneely I originate from a small town in the West of Ireland. Most of my inspiration comes from my love of the rugged Irish landscape. This has been instilled in me from a very young age growing up in Connemara.

 I try to create pieces that bring a sense of peace and harmony into everyday life.

I am so proud of my heritage and I am passionate about sharing our culture and scenes of our beautiful country in my art. I am a keen photographer and creative writer and where possible I like to incorporate all three.

My work:

I returned to College as a mature student in 2016 for a two year full time course in Creative Textiles. This course has opened the doors to a whole new world of colour and creativity for me. It has been the most challenging and hugely enjoyable two years of my life.

Since graduating I have found that the course has hugely broadened my knowledge of Art, Craft & Design Industry and I have found a new passion for creative textile art.

For me it’s all about the colour, volume and texture in every piece to give it a unique three dimensional layered effect.   

It is important to me to use sustainable/natural /upcycled materials where possible.
