Gabriella Ward
Originally studying Fine Art in Limerick, specialising in printmaking, I have always had a love for creativity. Since returning to my hometown of Kenmare, I have embraced the title of amateur artist, from the French amateur, meaning someone who pursues something for the love of it, not for work. Free to try any medium, I enjoy many different art forms, and creating simply for the joy.
