Jennifer is a porcelain sculptor who lives and works on the west coast of Ireland. She creates her sculpture from thousands of tiny, wafer-thin porcelain pieces sewn on to tulle.
Her work is held in private and public collections including The National Museum of Ireland and the Office of public works in Ireland.
She has exhibited widely throughout Ireland and Internationally and was selected to represent Ireland in the European prize for applied arts in Belgium in 2021 and also in the Dubai Expo 2020.
Recent exhibitions include the first Biennial exhibition in the Ballinglen Museum of Art in Ireland (2023) where she was awarded the Evan's award for sculpture. Her work was also selected for Collect 2024 celebrating twenty years in Somerset house in London.
Living in the beauty and isolation of the west of Ireland has had an important impact on her work and allows her to observe and appreciate the continuing influence of the seasons.
Her sculptures poetically investigate the rhythms and movement of nature and her relationship with it. The fragility, translucency and ephemerality of the natural environment are central themes to her work.
It is the rituals of making, the physical rhythms, the process, and repetition involved that are all very important aspects of her practice.
