Ciara O'Keeffe

My name is Ciara O'Keeffe. I am a ceramic artist from Athy, Co Kildare, Ireland. I graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design in 1999 with a B.A. Degree in Ceramics. For the past twenty years, I have been working and teaching from my studio in Athy.

I have worked on numerous private commissions and been awarded many commissions including, Dublin City Council, President of Ireland Mary Mc Aleese, and the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.

I have exhibited throughout Ireland and the United States, including Millcove Gallery, Co. Kerry, a solo exhibition at the Designyard Gallery, Dublin and group exhibitions in the National Botanic Gardens Dublin, The Open window Gallery, Dublin and Bryn Mawr College Philadelphia, United States.

My pieces tell a contemporary narrative of a nearly forgotten time. I am keeping the art of storytelling alive, infusing it into the medium of clay that will live on forever.
