Bernie Davis

I am a self-taught Artist and have lived in Balbriggan all my life. I have spent many enjoyable hours joining in the Summer Festival, I have enjoyed many long walks on our lovely beaches.

 I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to travel far and wide.  The experience I have gained locally from travels have influenced my Artwork greatly and later would influence my jewellery making.

 I started to take an interest in art in the 1990’s. It has been a long and fulfilling journey  to get to where I am today.

Art has helped me through a lot in my life and is a great source of comfort and tranquillity. It is also great for our mental health.

 I constantly push myself into the unknown.  I am an abstract Artist who loves to paint colours and shapes and just allow my imagination to run free.

 My other passion is making jewellery from sea glass and other unwanted and discarded items.

 I have had solo exhibitions and collaborated with other Artists in various venues around Ireland. I am now also part of an Art group which has been involved in a lot of community projects throughout the town of Balbriggan and beyond, which include murals, outdoor exhibitions, and Art Trails and more.

 I run my own small business called “Beach Jewels By Bernie” where I make Jewellery from sea glass and other pieces of unwanted and discarded items such as broken pottery.
