Twigín
Twigín is a sustainable Irish gift brand by Kerry artist Ciara O’Connor. At the heart of her work are thread drawings—intricate, stitched portraits celebrating Irish culture, from history-shaping icons to contemporary life. A visual love letter to Ireland, these unique images are mindfully printed on notebooks, cards, mugs, totes and fine art prints.
To complement her vision, Ciara partners with ethical Irish suppliers who prioritize green energy and sustainable production.

Her work often connects Ireland and Uganda, examining the relationships between people, landscape and inherited histories. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Crawford College of Art and Design and an MA in Art Research and Collaboration (ARC) from IADT.
Mieke Vanmechelen
Mieke Vanmechelen is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice spans moving image, film and painting. Her work is shaped by an interest in people, place, landscape and the natural world. She works across documentary and experimental forms, drawing on observation, collaboration and lived experience. In 2021, she founded Fierce Quiet Films, extending her creative practice into independent filmmaking and storytelling.
Una Bennett
Una Bennett is a Kerry-based contemporary landscape painter whose work explores sustained attention and engagement with place. Working primarily in oils, she translates landscape into simplified, interlocking geometric forms, organising pictorial space through colour, shape and structure.
More recently, her involvement in woodland restoration adds another dimension to her practice. This extends exploration of space from the pictorial to the physical and experiential, where observation and interpretation of the landscape become entangled with its physical transformation.
