Jennifer is a porcelain sculptor who lives and works on the west coast of Ireland. She studied at the National College of Art & Design in Dublin and her work has been exhibited widely in Ireland and Internationally. She is drawn to the ethereal and delicate properties of porcelain and has developed a unique and intricate approach to making.

Living in the beauty and isolation of the west of Ireland has had an important impact on her work, allowing her to observe and appreciate the influence of the changing seasons as they pass. She is drawn to the beauty and subtlety of the natural world, and her work poetically investigates the rhythms and movement of nature and her relationship with it. Each of her sculptures is made from thousands of tiny, wafer-thin fired porcelain pieces. These are made by hand-working the porcelain to a fine, almost paper-thin finish. Texture is then applied before each piece is pierced with a needle and then high fired in the kiln. After firing, the pieces are sewn onto a tulle fabric over a porcelain sculptural form. It takes months of hand-sewing to complete each work and the slowness, repetition and ritual inherent in this making are essential to her practice.

Her work is held in private and public collections including The National Museum of Ireland and the Office of Public Works in Ireland. She 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 Salon Art & Design in New York in November 2024, the Custom House Gallery in Westport in October 2024 and Collect Art & Design in Somerset House in London in February 2024. She has been shortlisted for the Golden Fleece award 2025 and has been selected to represent Ireland at Révélations, the fine craft and creation Biennial at the Grand Palais in Paris in May 2025.
