Ethna
completed a BA in Printed and Woven textiles and
a teaching qualification before embarking on a
career as a textile artist that led to the pre-eminence
she currently enjoys. Ethna combines colour, texture
and pattern with a rich Celtic influence to produce
each striking, original with a feeling of Celtic
sophistication and magic.
Her work has been exhibited throughtout
Ireland, Britain, U.S.A and Europe and she is
widely commissioned both publicly and privately. |

Her work can be seen in venues including
the Ulster Bank, Allied Dunbar, the Dunadry and Burrendale
hotels, the Royal Victoria Hospital and on public display
in Áras an Uachtaráin, the official residence
of the President of Ireland.
Ethna innovatively uses techniques such
as free-machining and printing combined with her handmade
silks, felts, textured papers and lush materials such
as silks, velvets and organzas, to produce sophisticated
products of superior quality and workmanship.
All unframed works are finished with a matt spray varnish. |
