My Bio
Danielle Hicks-Gallagher is a textile artist, in her late twenties, based in the North of Ireland. She makes symbolic and narrative work with vibrant hand dyed linen and silks using a mix of freestyle machine embroidery and hand embellishment. Her inspirations vary from spirituality, poetry and prose, to nature, memory and world culture

Much of her current work is inspired by the Charism of Catherine McAuley, Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy (Order of Women Religious), and the vibrant colours and lines of stained glass.

She remained self taught until her middle twenties, but has recently completed a HND in Fine Art, graduating with Dinstinction.

Just a heads up that I'll be "AWOL" from dA for a while. I've realised I'm spending way too much time online just lately (part of summer holidays mentality, I guess) and so I'm going to go 'cold turkey' for a few weeks, and use the time in better ways! Emails will still reach me, but that's it. Blessings of peace to you all :)

Happy birthday!

God bless you!
I saw your "Brothers and Sisters" stamp, and I also happened to see a few of your other works. All of it is so beautiful, I just thought you deserved a llama. Take care :)
