Sharlene fell in love with porcelain and ceramic relief tile art at the University of Ulster, Belfast. This affinity, together with a lifelong love of beach combing for treasures, results in the designs that inspire her collection’s today. The pieces are intentionally brightly coloured, reflecting a contentment and meaningful enjoyment of a scene or memory.
Every piece has a history, a memory or a sense of place within — from her relationship with the coastline of her home, to the adventure days exploring the remarkable landscape of Ireland, Sharlene captures these moments in fine porcelain, glass shards, rich gold, ocean hues and humble clay.
All of her work handmade, from start to finish, by Sharlene in her studio in Coolaney, Co. Sligo.
