Pen And Ink Illustration
I’ve always loved doing intricate, free-hand illustration with fine tip ink pens. Depending on the job I will also enhance my hand drawings digitally.
BONAC 24
Crafted in an Irish boutique distillery, Bonac 24 Gin brings together an infusion of natural botanicals. While working in collaboration with Dublin based packaging design studio, True Story, I was commissioned to illustrate an abstract bird to be used on their bottle label and across various branding materials. The final illustration was drawn with intricate detail in pen and ink. The figure of the bird is made up of the key botanicals that are infused to produce the smooth tasting Bonac 24 Gin.

BRADY HAM
Award winning Brady Family Ham has been a family favorite in Ireland for 40 years. Working with Dublin based packaging design studio, True Story, my role was to create three illustrations to go with Brady’s 3 new delicious flavors; Twice Turf Smoked, Whiskey Marmalade Glazed and Black Pudding Spiced.
NATURE ILLUSTRATION SERIES
This series of 12 pen and ink illustrations was a personal project I set for myself to showcase my love of intricate pen and ink drawing. I created calendars and individual prints and sold them through Etsy and at local craft fairs.
My wedding invitations
I wanted to create a fun illustrative design for our wedding invitations. It was important for me to make reference to our 2 homes; the Empire State building in my husbands home of New York and the Cliffs of Moher in my home of Clare, Ireland.
