ABOUT THE ARTIST Angela O’
Kelly studied Jewellery and Silversmithing at the Edinburgh College of
Art, Edinburgh and graduated with a Degree and Postgraduate Diploma in
1998. In 2004 she completed a Masters of Arts Management and Cultural
Policy in University College Dublin. O’Kelly
is a designer maker who crosses boundaries of jewellery, textiles and
sculpture. She combines paper with mixed media using a variety of traditional
and non-traditional textile and jewellery techniques. Inspiration derives
from a fascination with simple shapes, textures, repetition and colour
in urban and rural landscapes. O’Kelly
has exhibited extensively in international exhibitions and galleries.
Her work can be seen in many private collections and the public collections
of the National Museum of Ireland, the British Crafts Council, London;
the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh; the Museum of Art and Design, New York;
the Cleveland Arts Centre International Jewellery Collection, UK; and
the Office of Public Works, Dublin. Since 1998 O’Kelly has lectured part time in textile and jewellery departments of the National College of Art and Design and Edinburgh College of Art. She has also curated three contemporary craft exhibitions in Ireland and the UK; Texture for the Hub Gallery, UK in 2004; Playthings and Wearable UnWearable for the Crafts Council of Ireland in 2005.
