About me

 

Anne Harrington Rees at Bloom 2019

 

Hello. I’m Anne, originally from Ballyhale, Co. Kilkenny, now living, designing and gardening in beautiful West Cork. I’ve been drawing, making and designing since childhood, on paper, in landscaping and in fibre.

I love natural materials and bold, bright patterns; have lots of favourite colours (turquoise, teal, jade, scarlet, sea green, indigo and slate grey); have a passion for live music, good food, wildlife gardening and sport, especially hurling and rugby; and am a complete soft touch when it comes to hairy  lurchers!

Graduating with a degree in Landscape Horticulture and years of wildlife gardening have all helped to develop my knowledge of our natural world.  Inspired by my love of Nature and more recent studies in surface pattern design, I create my designs so that you can also experience the magic of Wild Ireland in your own home, wherever in the world that may be.
