Karena Ryan is an award winning Visual Artist from County Galway. A constant strand in her practice is the history of place, the land
and ancestry.
Karena is a proud partner of the Galway Wool Co Operative and uses Irish grown wool in her sustainable practice.
She designs and makes by hand from her studio in the West of Ireland, a stone's throw from the Wild Atlantic Way.
She combines hand felted wool with stitch and works with Irish linens, tweeds and vintage Foxford blankets.
Karena has a sustainable practice and repurposes fabrics and materials in her art.
"For me, textiles and fibres, in particular vintage heritage fabrics hold an invaluable narrative. The warp and weft holding memories of untold stories"
